Re: FTPAPI problem with Independant Storage Pools (fwd)

Hi Loek,

I've changed my personal copy of FTPAPI to use the
Qp01CvtPathToQSYSObjName API.  This API did not exist in V3R2 where the
original FTPAPI was written, but in version 2.0, it's okay to use it since
that version will only support V4R4 and later.

I'll try to get new beta copies of both FTPAPI and HTTPAPI posted sometime
this week.  I'm very busy, and it's hard to keep up with everything.

Thanks!
