<div><p>Before you begin to transfer files, you must choose the appropriate
|
||
|
|
file transfer type.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can use the default type, ASCII, or specify a different type. ASCII
|
||
|
|
is the Internet standard for character encoding. EBCDIC is the standard for iSeries™.
|
||
|
|
Select the appropriate type according to the following description:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Use ASCII for transfers of files that only contain text ("text-only" files).</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use EBCDIC to transfer EBCDIC data between systems that both support EBCDIC.
|
||
|
|
This will avoid the need to convert data between EBCDIC and ASCII on both
|
||
|
|
systems.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use BINARY for transfers of non-text files, such as binary numeric data,
|
||
|
|
graphics files, and iSeries save files.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<p>After you have chosen a file transfer format, you are ready to Transfer
|
||
|
|
a file with FTP.</p>

|

Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP), you cannot convert special numeric formats like packed decimal or zoned decimal.</li>

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt2.htm">Transfer *SAVF files</a></strong><br />

Because *SAVF files must be sent as images, you must issue FTP BINARY subcommand before transferring these types of files.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt3.htm">Transfer QDLS documents</a></strong><br />
|

|
|
When a QDLS document is transferred, the QDLS directory entry attribute
|
||
|
|
that indicates the type of document is defaulted to the document type PCFILE
|
||
|
|
on the receiving iSeries server

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt4.htm">Transfer root, QOpenSys, QLANSrv, QDLS, and QOPT files</a></strong><br />
|

You must use stream mode (MODE S) and file structure (STRUCT F) when transferring files in the root, QOpenSys, QLANSrv, QDLS, and QOPT file systems.</li>

<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt5.htm">Transfer files using QfileSvr.400</a></strong><br />

The QFileSvr.400 file system provides access to other file systems

|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt7.htm">File pre-creation considerations</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
It is strongly recommended that you pre-create any files that are
|
||
|
|
to be transferred into the iSeries QSYS.LIB file system. This is the best method
|
||
|
|
of ensuring that your data is transferred reliably and effectively with optimal
|
||
|
|
performance and integrity.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt8.htm">Coded Character Set Identifier conversions</a></strong><br />
|
||
|
|
iSeries uses
|
||
|
|
Coded Character Set Identifier (CCSID) information to interpret the input
|
||
|
|
data and provide the output data in the proper format for display.</li>
