Changing Local Directory

[Brian Eckenrod <beckenrod@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all.

I am working on some programs that will
use FTPAPI.  I've looked at some of the sample programs and I am not
100% sure of how to handle changing the local directory on the iSeries
that I want to receive files in to.  I believe the default is to put
the files in to the IFS.  I see there is a NAMEFMT command, so I think
maybe I should use that, but I wanted to ask.

On a related note, my practice in the
past has been to pull the files from the remote server in to the DB2 side
of the iSeries, since the data is typically text only and many times is
coming from another iSeries.  Would I be better off to pull the file
to the IFS?

Thank you for the help and guidance.

Regards,
Brian
