Hi Mr Lukyanov,

 

The problem is that it tries to get UAGS.PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)

Even if I do cd .. to move from UAGS. to root, it does not work

 

Example:

lftp mfmq1000
lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> pwd                   
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]
lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> get 'PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)'
get: Access failed: 501 A qualifier in "UAGS.'/'UAGS.'/'UAGS." begins with an invalid character (PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0))
lftp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~> get "PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)"
get: Access failed: 550 Data set UAGS.PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0) not found

Example with Standard ftp:

ftp mfmq1000
Connected to mfmq1000.
220-TCPFTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R4 at MFMQ1000.SLAC.CA, 20:36:33 on 2005-07-08.

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use lftp to get a file on a mainframe.

 

Once I'm connected, I'm in the 'UAGS.' directory

I need to get PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)

 

Normally on the mainframe, we put the file name between single quotes:

get 'PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)'

 

It is the equivalent on Unix to put à slash at the beginning to say that the file is not in the current directory but related to the root dir:

get /pilot/ags/extr/interest

 

However when I type

lftp myHost -e "get -a 'PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0)' -o myLocalFileName"
I get

get: Access failed: 501 A qualifier in "UAGS.'/'UAGS.'/'UAGS." begins with an invalid character (PILOT.AGS.EXTR.INTEREST(0))
