Re: Zend Studio on iSeries

Yuck. Doing this could "break" other FTP connections. That is why I use the ssh connection.

It's too bad that the third version of Zend studio cannot figure out how to work with the IBM i default ftp server setup.

Would it bee so hard to have the ability for the zend studio ftp client send an "initialize command" and then a "namefmt 1" after logon?

Let me see if I can take a swing at this one:

Method 2: Use the FTP construct of the remote server configuration. I
outline the steps involved in doing this in a free webinar on Zend.com
called Getting Started with PHP on IBM i.
http://www.zend.com/en/resources/webinars/i5-os

To use the FTP process here are the steps:
1) Issue the host command to change the FTP default CHGFTPA
NAMEFMT(*PATH) CURDIR(*HOMEDIR) LISTFMT(*UNIX)
Note: Please research this command to ensure you do not disrupt batch
based FTP processes in your shop!!!

2) Bounce the FTP server using ENDTCPSVR SERVER(*FTP) & STRTCPSVR
SERVER(*FTP)
Note: It is normally a good idea to check to see if the FTP servers have
ended before restarting them, they live in the QSYSWRK subsystem under a
job named QTFTPnnnnn
