Re: Tool to extract all the files of library in my local PC.

Did you try the timeout command?

I often do this from a command window on my PC.

ftp> quote timeout 3600
250 Inactivity time-out set to 3600 seconds.

Yes it worked too . Thanks a lot. now this is working fine.

I tried to replicate the same process by other way. i CREATED 2 txt file in my source physical file input and output. Output is to get the log.

But i cant setup local directory as my local PC.

This command i used in my input file

quote site namefmt 1
CD /HOME
LCD C:\PINTU
ASCII
PROMPT
mget *.*
quit


In output file i am getting below error.

257 "QGPL" is current library.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
> quote site namefmt 1
250 Now using naming format "1".
Enter an FTP subcommand.
> CD /HOME
250 "/HOME" is current directory.
Enter an FTP subcommand.
> LCD C:\PINTU
Character ( is not allowed in object name.

So i cant set up my local pc as LCD and hence i cant transfer data from IFS to local PC using this method

I don't think you specify the drive for the LCD. The ftp server should be set to have you start at a certain / .

Hi pintusrm2010:

I know you can't use c:\ anywhere on the IBMi ftp server.
If you think about it Every PC on the entire network has a c drive. Which one would ftp pick to send the file to?

Using the pc ftp server you can use c:\.

That means we can't download data to local folder using input and output FTP approach?? we have to go by pc server ftp nly?

It's not clear what your image is showing. Clearly it shows a DB2 file member that resides on your AS/400, but the first line indicates that it is standard output from a FTP session that was connecting to an AS/400. Where did the FTP output come from? How did it get into a DB2 file member?

The reason I ask is because it potentially indicates a working method of transferring data (the data in the displayed member) into your AS/400. I'm assuming that the FTP log was actually generated on your PC. Did you FTP it to your AS/400? And if it's not generated on a PC, why are you expecting LCD (Local Current Directory) to know what a C: drive is? No AS/400 has a local C: drive.
