Using FTPTFR to send a physical file in TXT format

 

To use FTPTFR to send a physical file from the IFS to a server in TXT format, set the following FTPTFR parameters:

• LCLFIL - The name of the file in the IFS.
• RMTFIL - The name to give the file on the server.
• LCLDIR - The path to the file in the IFS.
• RMTDIR - The folder to save the file in on the server.
• FUNCTION - Type PUT to put the file on the server.
• FORMAT - Type ASCII to perform an ASCII translation.
• CMD1 - Call the iSeries command CPYTOIMPF before sending the file.

  The Copy To Import File (CPYTOIMPF) command copies an externally-described file to an import file - that is, a file created to copy data between heterogenous databases. The import file (TOSTMF or TOFILE parameter) is called the to-file for this command.
