Well, I guest this is not possible, the Get command only allow to put data into a PF. Anyway I will just asked the third party customer to change the data into Text format.

FTP to IFS

I can FTP from my PC, I have a FTP script and it worked fine but I have batch program on the AS/400 that uses FTP script, list and get all the .CSV data on the NT server and ftp to the IFS. But I cannot put it into the IFS and convert it to PF using cpyfrmimpf command. Get only allows to put it only on Libary/file.mbr not 'QDLS/Folder/File.CSV' Thanks, TIKI

That is where the "na 1" command comes in. It allows you to use the ifs. Joe

I am at the peak of developing batch FTP, in and out, so am interested in all such communications. I have been using 'namefmt 1'. Is this the same as your 'na 1'?

Start up FTP interactively, then type HELP and hit ENTER. The FTP commands are listed. The command may be abbreviated by just typing the first few characters that are CAPITALIZED as in NAmefmt. I don't like the abbreviations actually. Typing the full command name helps to make the script more self documenting. Actually, your post proves this... Regards, Chris

I can ftp csv file and put it on IFS on the PC using the script using the Put command but I cant do it on CL. How to ftp .CSV directly to IFS folder using the CL command or even on the AS/400 FTP command line. Anybody knows the syntax. Any help will be appreciated.

I know as developers that we should always build it ourselves, but sometimes 3rd party products can be a lifesaver. We utilize the Alliance FTP Manager product from Townsend & Assoc. This product has all kinds of FTP capabilities from auto scanning libraries or IFS folders, PGP encryption, EBCDIC to ASCII conversions, etc. Something to look at if your FTP requirements are growing faster than you can keep up. Highly recommend.
