<h1 class="topictitle1">File systems and naming conventions</h1>
<div><p>The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server arranges the information
units of a file system in a multiple-level tree-like structure.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The i5/OS™ file systems that you can use with
FTP vary depending on the release level of the operating system. File systems
on i5/OS can
use different terms for data and the hierarchical grouping of data.</p>
</div>
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Naming conventions</h4><p>Each i5/OS file system
has its own set of rules for naming files. The format you use to name any
file must adhere to the naming conventions of the file system in which it
resides. Formats and examples of file names for FTP-enabled i5/OS file systems
are described in the topic <a href="../ifs/rzaaxkickoff.htm">Integrated file system</a>. The server can provide
naming information for files on non-iSeries servers when you use the QUOTE
HELP subcommand.</p>
<p><strong>FTP server NAMEFMT</strong></p>
<p>When
an FTP server session is started, NAMEFMT is set to a value of 0. You can
change the NAMEFMT value by using the SITE subcommand.</p>
<p>The server automatically
switches from the default of NAMEFMT 0 to NAMEFMT 1 when the 'first' file
or pathname parameter received in a subcommand either:</p>
<ul><li>Starts with a slash (/) or a tilde (~) character</li>
</ul>
<p>or</p>
<ul><li>Is blank (except for the LIST and NLST subcommands)</li>
</ul>
<p>Any subsequent server subcommands with a file or path name parameter
will not affect the NAMEFMT value. In addition to changing the NAMEFMT, the
server reply for the subcommand will include a statement saying that the NAMEFMT
value has been changed.</p>
<p>For example, the server NAMEFMT value will be
changed to "1" if the first server subcommand with a file or path name is:</p>
<pre> CWD /DIR1/DIR2A</pre>
<p>The server reply will be:</p>
<pre> 250-NAMEFMT set to 1.
250 Current directory changed to /DIR1/DIR2A.</pre>
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> This capability
enables the typical Web browser, which requires NAMEFMT 1, to interact with iSeries™ FTP
servers without issuing a SITE NAMEFMT 1 subcommand.</div>
