Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

hit the start button on your pc
then select run

you will get a dos window


then type ftp 10.0.1.1
(or what ever your iseries IP address is)
use netstat to get ip if you dont know


type BIN to go into binary mode

place you pc file directly on the c:/drive

then

put c:/sometextfile.txt mylibrary/mysource


--or--

use opperations navigator and just drag and drop to IFS
then use cpyfrmimpf , cpyfrmstmf or cpytopcd to get to your source
file

jamie,
thanks for that . But I not able to see the file in my library in AS400. In Dos window, it says File Transfer completed successfully. Where am I going wrong?
These are the commands I typed

ftp>bin

ftp>put c:/abc.txt srinivas/qddssrc

Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

because you cannot specify a member it is using the first member in the file qddssrc.

it most likely is appending the transfered text file to the end of this member.

easiest way to find this member is DBU QDDSSRC and see what pops up

Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

jamie,
I managed to find the file I sent from C:\ drive to As400 in As400. But It has come in as a Physical File. I want this converted to CLLE type. How to change the object type from *FILE to *pgm(clle program)? Please help

Thanks

hi jamie.. i tried doing the steps mentioned by you, but the PF I receive on iSeries is not readable. I had used BIN (for binary transmission).

Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

Today i ran into this problem. the ftp commands show that the file has been moved to the savefile. But when i try to restore the objects, there is nothing in the save-file!!!

Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

You can FTP a save file to the 400. You can not FTP a file into a save file on the 400. save files are created on the 400 and then objects are placed in them.
Is the xtools0715 a save file or something else?

Hi rlg560:

From what I'm reading library SAVELIB has a physical file XTOOLS715 with your data.....
....No QGPL....No savefile

The save file has already been created. I am trying to put that file xtools0715 into that save-file which has the same name. In the dos window you will see that the ftp transfer went through just fine. But now when i am trying to extract that file from the save file and put it into QGPL/xtools0715, i am getting an error message that there is nothing into the save-file.

Hi GLS400,

I have alreday craeted the save-file with the command : CRTSAVF QGPL/XTOOLS0715

after that i ftp'ed the file from C:\temp into the savlib/xtools0715 (as per the ftp screen)

now when i am trying to restore the file from savlib into the save-file in qgpl, its blowing up.

Re: ftp to as400 from desktop

When you ftp the file specify xtools0715.savf to tell it to put it into the save file (note the .savf suffix).
