FTP File Between AS400's 1

[Skittle]

Bit off track from RPG but couldn't think of anywhere else to post this one.

How can I use FTP to transfer a file from one AS400 to another AS400? I have tried 'get' as 'EBCDIC' but the field formatting is lost. Is there a way of doing it with FTP or should I try something else?

Compile the DDS for the target file on the target machine and transfer the file as BINARY.

Thanks flapeyre.

It worked a treat although I had to delete the empty member on the target machine first so that FTP would add the transferred data as a member.

To keep from having to do that, append (replace (just like that -- no right parenthesis) to the put subcommand:

put sourcefile destfile (replace
