Answer Wiki:
To create a list of local IFS-files into a physical file, follow these steps:
1. Create the file to recieve the filenames:
<pre>CRTPF mylib/mydirlist RCDLEN(12) LVLCHK(*NO)</pre>
2. Make the IFS-directory your current directory:
<pre>CD '/somedir/myfiledir'</pre>
3. Now use Qshell's ls command to list the filenames into the physical filefrom step 1.
<pre>qsh 'ls *.* > /QSYS.lib/mylib.lib/mydirlist.file/mydirlist.mbr'</pre>
Wrap all the above coding into a CL-pgm, and you'll have your list available as a physical file. Now write a pgm that 'writes' all needed ftp-steps into a source-file and run ftp using this. You may Google 'ftp batch' to see how, or put a new question.
Happy programming

None that I’m aware of. I suppose it’s assumed that you know what your files are before entering FTP. However, in the AS/400 FTP client, you could do something like:
> sysc qsh cmd('ls')The ls utility could be used to list your current directory. You could also pass a directory path into the ls utility. You could run commands other than QSH if you wanted a list of files in a library or specify the library in path format for the ls utility. If you run QSH inside of a FTP session, you might need to run the QSH exit command rather than <F3> to return to FTP.
