Keep Trailing Blanks on FTP Transfer from PC Client
Hey, David:
When I transfer a file via FTP from an
AS/400, oops, iSeries, to a PC, trailing blanks
are lopped off the end of each record. If I
want to keep trailing blanks, I use LOCSITE,
which is a command of the OS/400 client:
locsite trim 0
However, I want to do the transfer from a
PC client. How do I preserve trailing blanks
in that case?
--Tim
The client-side equivalent of locsite is site.
Use quote to pass the command to the server:
quote site trim 0
In addition to setting the trim option, I
frequently use the site command to specify
the iSeries' specific name format or coded
character set ID (CCSID). To find out more
about site, locsite, quote, and other FTP
subcommands, start an FTP session from a
command entry screen using the following:
ftp yoursystemname
After typing in your profile and password,
type help and press Enter. Next, move your
cursor to the appropriate subcommand and
press Enter for a full description of the
subcommand.
-- David
