Moving a Save File from iSeries to Another iSeries Using FTP

Resolving The Problem

To move a save file from one IBM® iSeries™ family of servers server to another iSeries family server using
FTP, create the save file on your source system. Then, create an identically named save file on the target
system.

In this example, the save file is in Library QGPL and will be moved to the target systems QGPL library.

 Previous FTP subcommands and messages:                                        
   Connecting to host REMOTESERVER at address x.x.xx.xxx using port 21.              
   220-QTCP at REMOTESERVER.

   200 Representation type is binary IMAGE.                                    
 > cd qgpl                                                                      
   250 "QGPL" is current library.                                              
 > lcd qgpl                                                                    
   Local working directory is QGPL                                              
                                                                               
 Enter an FTP subcommand.                                                      
 ===> put yoursavf

The target system should have your save file in QGPL library.

=========================================================================================
Note: If the SAVF is not created on the target IBM® OS/400® or IBM® i5/OS™ before performing the
transfer, the transfer will appear to complete satisfactorily. However, on inspection of the file on target
OS/400 or i5/OS, you will see that a physical file (PF) has been created and not a save file (SAVF). This
will not work.
