<h1 class="topictitle1">Data transfer methods</h1>
<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>

<ul class="ullinks">
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt1.htm">Transfer files that contain packed decimal data between iSeries servers</a></strong><br />
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
for all document types except revisable-form text (RFT) documents.</li>
<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
on remote iSeries servers.</li>
<li class="ulchildlink"><strong><a href="rzaiqreferencedt6.htm">Transfer QSYS.LIB files</a></strong><br />
This topic discusses the FTP operations for the QSYS.LIB file system.</li>
<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>
