No, you should be able to use just the file name, assuming your current
directory is set properly.   FTPAPI does not use "name format 0" (i.e.
library/file syntax) and does not search your library list.   So, if you
want to send a file called "TEST.FILE" then you need to make sure
your current directory (set with the CHGCURDIR command or chdir() API)  is
'/QSYS.LIB/SNDVIPFTP.LIB'

If you can use the full path name, though, it eliminates the possibility
that the problem might be your current directory.

Weird.  Path names should be able to be MUCH larger than that.

If you go to the command line and do a
WRKLNK '/QSYS.LIB/SNDVIPFTP.LIB/TEST.SAVF'  does THAT work?

I have a feeling that the file you're looking for is actually called
'TEST.FILE' not 'TEST.SAVF'

That sounds like the help text from the RPG DSPLY op-code, rather than the
error message that occurred. :)   FTPAPI allows path names up to 256
characters long.  OS/400 allows up to 640 chars.
