Here are the steps to FTP multiple files in batch mode
1) Create an empty member in a source physical file say FTP_RES to receive response log after FTP is complete.Member Type Text
FTP_RES TXT FTP Response File
2) Create another member in a source physical file say FTP_REQ to input FTP instructions. Here is a sample file
Member Type Text
FTP_REQ TXT FTP Request File
{user_id} {password}
bin
na 1
put /{ifs_dir}/{ifs_sub_dir}/{filename1.ext} /{remote_dir}/{filename2.ext }
........
........
get /{remote_dir}/{filename1.ext } /{ifs_dir}/{ifs_sub_dir}/{filename2.ext} (replace
........
........
na 0
put {library}/{filename1} {remote_library}/{filename2}
........
........
get {remote_library}/{filename1} {library}/{filename2} (replace
........
........
quit
The dots mean put more file like the syntax above. Anything within the curly braces{} needs to be replaced with actual values. filename1 and filename2 can be same name. na means naming format. na 1 is used for IFS like directory structure and na 0 used for regular iSeries objects. bin means binary data change it to ascii if your are sending text data.
3) Create the CL program to do the FTP. Here is a sample file
PGM
OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(*LIBL/{source_file}) MBR(FTP_REQ)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(*LIBL/{source_file}) MBR(FTP_RES)
FTP RMTSYS({host_name or IP Address})
ENDPGM
4) The END!
