FTP source code from I-series to PC

[wombatnc]

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.

What kind of problems are you having???

 

[wombatnc]

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.

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

                           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

 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:

C:\Users\mikl1071>[COLOR=blue]ftp pub1.rzkh.de[/color]
Connected to pub1.rzkh.de.
220-QTCP at PUB1.RZKH.DE.
220 Connection will close if idle more than 60 minutes.

Local directory now C:\work\as400_sources.

250 File transfer completed successfully.

ftp> [COLOR=blue]quit[/color]
221 QUIT subcommand received.

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

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?

 

[mikrom]

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

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

Worked like a charm. Thank you so much!
