Java FTP

[Surya Indukuri]

Hi,

I am trying to FTP a text file to AS400

ftp.connect(a_host);
ftp.login(user, pwd)
ftp.setFileType(FTP.BINARY_FILE_TYPE);
ftp.changeWorkingDirectory(REMOTE_DIR);
ftp.putFile("TestData.txt","BZHLIB/CAI010F.CAI010F");
ftp.disconnect();

I am getting error on putfile. Can someone help?

Hello Surya-

Welcome to JavaRanch.

What kind of error are you getting? And which library are you using? It looks a bit like org.apache.commons.net.ftp.FTPClient, but that doesn't have a putFile method.

You may have to use the full IFS filename, which in that particular example would be "/QSYS.LIB/BZHLIB.LIB/CAI010F.FILE/CAI010F.MBR". That would be the case if the AS/400's FTP server were configured with NAMEFMT(*PATH). But if it were configured with NAMEFMT(*LIB) then what you showed should work.

"BZHLIB/CAI010F.CAI010F" can be the same as "/QSYS.LIB/BZHLIB.LIB/CAI010F.FILE/CAI010F.MBR"?
Deep Magic. Of course, I've never been near an AS/400...
