Hi Kent On the AS/400 what you specify in the ALTSRCDIR parameter of the CHGTFTPA command has to be specified on the read request.
You can specify *NONE in the ALTSRCDIR parameter. This makes the default directory /QIBM/ProdData/NetworkStation. But even with that default directory you have to specify the directory to read a file. I think this is just a quirk in the AS/400's implementation of TFTP. The Ubuntu TFTP server is working great so I'll stick with that.
