Question:
I want to import an overlay created on my PC, to my AS/400, but I do not have access to the shared folder system on the PC as I am not using Client Access
Answer:
If both the AS/400 and you are using TCP/IP you can transfer files to the shared folders using FTP.
Open a DOS prompt and change to the directory on the PC, where your PCL overlay or image is placed is placed.
Now connect with FTP to the AS/400. You will need to know the IP address of the AS/400, if you do not already have a name associated to it in your hosts file on your PC. The following is an example of a login sequence. (You should use your normal AS/400 login ID and password with the proper rights to access the folder system:
C:\>TEMP\ftp 222.2.1.249
Connected to 222.2.1.249
220-QTCP at 222.2.1.249
220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes
User (222.2.1.249:(none)): Peter
331 Enter password.
Password:
230 logged on.
ftp>
Now you are logged in, and have access to the libraries on the AS/400. The following is an example of how to place a PC file into the shared folder APF3812:
ftp> quote site namefmt 1
250 Now using naming format "1".
ftp> cd /qdls
250 Current directory changed to /QDLS.
ftp> cd apf3812
250 Current directory changed to /QDLS/apf3812.
ftp> binary
200 Representation type is binary IMAGE.
ftp> put myovl.prt
150 sending file to /QDLS/apf3812/MYOVL.PRT
250 File transfer completed successfully.
1244552 bytes transferred in 3,06 seconds (8,75 Kbytes/sec)
ftp> quit
221 QUIT subcommand received
C:\TEMP
