As is shown in Figure 150, the FTP server sends replies that are preceded by a
three-digit numeric code to the client host as a response to each subcommand. For
example, a 331 response may be sent to request a password when the user ID is
entered, and a 230 response is sent after a successful logon.
If the server is an AS/400, the server replies show the current library (directory) and
the file name format in use on the server.
When the logon process has completed, you can enter the FTP subcommands that
are described in this chapter.
Connecting to Another Server without Ending the FTP Session
The CLOSE subcommand can also be used to close the connection with the
remote server. This subcommand does not end the FTPclient session. The OPEN
subcommand can then establish a connection with another server. For example, the
following opens a connection to SYSNAM01:
OPEN SYSNAM01
When the OPEN is successful, the FTP client prompts for a user ID, as it does at
FTP startup.
Ending the FTP Client Session
The FTP session is ended with the QUIT subcommand. The QUIT subcommand
closes the connection with the remote host and ends the FTP session on the
AS/400 system. Alternatively,you can press F3 (Exit) and then confirm to end the
FTP client session.
File Transfer Protocol
