How to extract JAR file from save file?

Hi, I have received a PTF save file from one of the Java developers that holds a JAR file. I have uploaded the save file from my Windows PC to the IBM i library.

The save file is DEVLIB/PTFSAVF. When I ran the DSPSAVF DEVLIB/PTFSAVF command to see the save contents, I could see the JAR object is there in the save file and also ifs directory showing as /home/jvdev/ptf/2024 which means JAR file was initially saved from this directory and sent to me in a save file.

However, I am not getting how can I extract the JAR file from the save file to one of my IFS folder locations/home/CKETS/files/JARfiles/ which is a different folder than the Jar file folder from where it is saved.
What are the steps or commands to extract/restore the JAR file from savf to the new IFS location.

    You can run the RST command from the command line to extract/restore the JAR file from the save file back to the IFS folder.

    To restore to the same directory location from where it was saved initially saved but on your IBM i IFS location. You can run this command.

    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/devlib.lib/ptfsavf.file')
    OBJ(('/home/jvdev/ptf/2024/')) crtprndir(*yes)

    This will restore the jar file at the ifs path /home/jvdev/ptf/2024/.

    However, if you want it to extract/restore to a different IFS folder than it was saved then you can do that by running the following command.

    RST DEV('/qsys.lib/devlib.lib/ptfsavf.file')
    obj(('/home/jvdev/ptf/2024/' *include
    '/home/ckets/files/jarfiles/'))
    crtprndir(*yes)

    Here, the only difference is we have *INCLUDE to specify the new path name of the JAR file to restore on IFS. Provided the new path to restore ‘/home/ckets/files/jarfiles/‘.
