I am working on an iASP machine where an *SYSBAS and an independent auxiliary storage pool (IASP) is installed and I can FTP my save file to the *SYSBAS on the IASP machine from a non-IASP machine. However, I am facing an issue in doing FTP to the IASP device.
I have a library named SUPPORTLIB present on the ASP device on the IASP machine, and I was running the following command for FTP.
From the IBM i green screen command line, run the following command to FTP to the IASP machine system name.
FTP systemName
Once the FTP screen appears, Enter the following commands.
Login UserId -- of IASP machine --
password -- of IASP machine --
-- Once logged On, Executed below commands --
bin
namefmt 1
put /qsys.lib/libnameOnNonAspMachine.lib/SavefileNameOnNonAspMachine.savf
/qsys.lib/libnameOnAspMachineAspDevice.lib/SavefileName.savfI tried the same above commands from the IASP machine itself and used the get FTP command instead of put FTP command there but failed.
Also, I was trying it from the Windows PC, i.e. I downloaded the save file from a non-IASP machine to the Windows PC and then tried to FTP the save file to the IASP device on the IBM i machine and did not succeed and failed. I am not able to figure out how to resolve the IASP device machine during FTP and none of the ASP device libraries are available while doing FTP causing the FTP error 550 Library XYZ not found.
Ran the following commands from the Windows Command prompt.
cd desktop
ftp systemname
Userid
password
--logged On--
quote site namefmt 1
put savefilename.savf /qsys.lib/libnameOnAspMachineAspDevice.lib/
SavefileName.savfI also tried this but failed, but getting the message 550-Specified directory does not exist or cannot be accessed
cd desktop
ftp systemname

cd libNameonIASPdevice
