IBM Mainframe Forum

Hello All ,
Say I have a file file.txt on my mainframe host xxx.xxx.xxx.xx created by user QWERTY in the path TEST. I would like to ftp this file from mainframe to my unix machine. When I run the code


the error I get is "Path ftp://QWERTY@xxx.xxx.xxx.xx'TEST/file.txt' is a directory."

On giving


I get the error : File 'QWERTY.'/'TEST/file.txt does not exist. It appends the 'QWERTY.'/' on its own.

Any pointers on how to give this file path name ?

Have you tried specifying the complete path name in ftpFileSystem.open? Since you're connecting from another system, there's no environment information available such as the home directory for user QWERTY.

Thanks Robert . I did try that also but in vain . I finally found the way out. By not using FtpFileSystem , rather using other FTP api's ..

Glad to hear you got it resolved.

You can just use the FTP command.
