Working with FTP Application (WFTP)
Purpose: Use this menu option to create an FTP application, and to define the internet address and define or change the FTP commands associated with the application.
About FTP applications: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) provides a standard format for transferring to and from remote computer systems, including the type of error checking to be used, the data compression method, and how the sending and receiving devices will indicate that a message has been sent and received. Defining the commands of an FTP application is beyond the scope of this document, however, this chapter explains the screens you use to define an FTP application.
Important: FTP applications are not company specific; all FTP application codes must be identical in the corresponding system control values for all companies in a single environment. For example, the FTP ID - Cancellation Requests field must be populated with the same code, and the code must identify the same FTP script, for all companies in the environment.

The IP address for the FTP application. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. How to identify the IP address on a server: Enter IPCONFIG at a command line to display the server’s IP address. How to identify the IP address on the iSeries: • Enter PING AS400 at a command line, where AS400 is the name of your iSeries • Position the cursor on the message at the bottom of the screen • Press F1 to display the response. The IP address is the address displayed at the end of the response message, such as 1.23.45.6. Numeric, 17 positions; required. |
To change: Enter 2 next to an FTP application at the Work with FTP Application Screen to advance to the Change FTP Application screen, where you can change the description and the IP address of the FTP application.
