AW: Undesired CCSID conversion by FTPAPI

["Werner Noll \(Gefis\)" <werner.noll@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Dennis,

it took some time get the FTP_QUOTE or FTP_RMTCMD API executed on the target
iSeries system as there were a couple of additional security programs
running which prohibited the access.
Now it's working fine. I used FTP_RMTCMD but it would probably also run with
FTP_QUOTE.

Many thanks for your help.
Regards,

Betreff: RE: Undesired CCSID conversion by FTPAPI 

Hello, Werner:

Scott and others can describe much more clearly than I why the FTP server on
the remote system does not (apparently) use the CCSID of the user profile
when creating a new IFS file.  (I assume this is to go into IFS.)

But as for resolution, if there is no way to get the system to create these
files with the desired CCSID, I would follow the transfer with a call to
FTP_QUOTE() to set the desired CCSID.  There are lots of other ways to go
about the same thing, such as creating the file beforehand, and using
FTP_APPEND instead of FTP_PUT, et cetera....  Since these actions
effectively become a part of the transfer, the concern about being a batch
process should be satisfied.

I hope this helps.
