Anonymous FTP was created to satisfy the demand of FTP- TCP/IP users all over the Internet to send and receive files of a public domain or publicly available nature. As you can imagine, with that amount of data available for FTP transfer, it was and is simply impossible to set-up user accounts and passwords for every user on every FTP server on the Internet. Follow Kris Neely's guidelines for using this feature. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci862680,00.html Tricks and techniques for FTPing OS/400 save files Save files (SAVF) are great for transferring iSeries and AS/400 objects between OS/400-based machines. Whether it's a group PTF, a file, a library or even a licensed program, save files can quickly zip large amounts of information between two iSeries, especially if the save files are transmitted via FTP. Unfortunately, there's a bit of misunderstanding about how to properly FTP save files between two iSeries. There are a few simple, but hard-fast, rules that users must follow to successfully transfer save files. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci797779,00.html Batch FTP using IIS Search400.com member Shawn Hunt says he's been using this technique for a while, and it is much easier than creating a file transfer or anything of that sort. http://search400.techtarget.com/tip/1,289483,sid3_gci812185,00.html FTP secrets revealed FTP is one of the top utilities for transferring data to and from the iSeries.
