FTP source code from I-series to PC

FTP source code from I-series to PC

FTP source code from I-series to PC

(OP)
This can't be that hard. All of want is a copy of my source code downloaded to my pc. I have tried just about everything. I cannot get the files to my pc. Can anyone provide a real basic ftp sequence to get my source code to the pc?

This is an IBM reference, you should be able to find the info you need..

I've been there. It hasn't helped.

RE: FTP source code from I-series to PC

What kind of problems are you having???

RE: FTP source code from I-series to PC

(OP)
The only way I could get the source code to transfer was to ftp from the pc to the i-series. If I use get I can bring over single source pgms as a renamed .TXT file that I can send to the pc. Other wise the mget would not bring then over as .TXT. I would have to rename each pgm to .TXT after ftping and then send then to the pc.
used: ascii, cd mylibrary, ls, lcd C:\temp, mget source.*

I want to be able to use mget on all the source and download the group with an .TXT file type so that I do not have to rename each file or bring down each one individually. I have to work from home sometimes and having the homegrown source code on hand as a reference is helpful.

RE: FTP source code from I-series to PC

For example I have on public iSeries pub1.rzkh.de in my library MIKROM1 a REXX-Source File named QREXSRC.
Now I want to get all members, i.e. these 3 REXX-sources

CODE

Work with Members Using PDM PUB1 File . . . . . . QREXSRC Library . . . . MIKROM1 Position to . . . . . Type options, press Enter. 2=Edit 3=Copy 4=Delete 5=Display 6=Print 7=Rename 8=Display description 9=Save 13=Change text 14=Compile 15=Create module... Opt Member Type Text HALLO REXX MONTH REXX MONTHOFDAT REXX
to my local directory on PC named C:\work\as400_souces.

Then I can do following using FTP from my Windows:

CODE

C:\Users\mikl1071>ftp pub1.rzkh.de Connected to pub1.rzkh.de. 220-QTCP at PUB1.RZKH.DE. 220 Connection will close if idle more than 60 minutes. User (pub1.rzkh.de:(none)): mikrom 331 Enter password. Password: Here I enter my Password 230 MIKROM logged on. ftp> cd /QSYS.LIB/MIKROM1.LIB/QREXSRC.FILE 250 "/QSYS.LIB/MIKROM1.LIB/QREXSRC.FILE" is current directory. ftp> lcd C:\work\as400_sources Local directory now C:\work\as400_sources. ftp> ls 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 125 List started. HALLO.MBR MONTH.MBR MONTHOFDAT.MBR 250 List completed. ftp: 38 bytes received in 0,03Seconds 1,23Kbytes/sec. ftp> ascii 200 Representation type is ASCII nonprint. ftp> mget *.MBR 200 Representation type is ASCII nonprint. mget HALLO.MBR? y 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 150 Retrieving member HALLO in file QREXSRC in library MIKROM1. 250 File transfer completed successfully. ftp: 25 bytes received in 0,00Seconds 25000,00Kbytes/sec. mget MONTH.MBR? y 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 150 Retrieving member MONTH in file QREXSRC in library MIKROM1. 250 File transfer completed successfully. ftp: 111 bytes received in 0,00Seconds 111000,00Kbytes/sec. mget MONTHOFDAT.MBR? y 200 PORT subcommand request successful. 150 Retrieving member MONTHOFDAT in file QREXSRC in library MIKROM1. 250 File transfer completed successfully. ftp: 1040 bytes received in 0,03Seconds 32,50Kbytes/sec. ftp> quit 221 QUIT subcommand received.

Now I got the desired sources as *.MBR in local directory on my PC:

CODE

C:\Work\as400_sources>dir Volume in drive C is OS Volume Serial Number is 18C2-F7F3 Directory of C:\Work\as400_sources 22. 05. 2012 22:12 <DIR> . 22. 05. 2012 22:12 <DIR> .. 22. 05. 2012 22:12 25 HALLO.MBR 22. 05. 2012 22:12 111 MONTH.MBR 22. 05. 2012 22:12 1 040 MONTHOFDAT.MBR 3 File(s) 1 176 bytes 2 Dir(s) 13 075 226 624 bytes free
But *.MBR are ASCII text files. I can rename them to *.REXX if I want.

Above I used blue for commands I typed.
For example for path of the REXX-source file on iSeries I used IFS-naming convention:
/QSYS.LIB/MIKROM1.LIB/QREXSRC.FILE

Any other questions?

RE: FTP source code from I-series to PC

On iSeries if your source nembers are of type *.TXT or *.REXX,...etc, you can access them as *.MBR using the qualified names:

CODE

/QSYS.LIB/your_lib.LIB/your_file.FILE/your_mbr.MBR

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
