FtpWebRequest Connecting to an AS/400

Question

I need to download some files via ftp from an old AS/400 server. My code looks more or less like:

FtpWebRequest _request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(\"ft         


        

Answer 1

I've had this message often in the past, and it meant that I forgot to change the name format.

There are two name formats possible when doing FTP with an AS400, and it can be changed with the FTP command NAMEFMT:

0 is for the library system files (library\filename.member)

1 is for the files in the IFS, where a CSV file would be

By default, it is set to 0.

Change it to 1 and it should work. However I'm not sure how it can be changed with a FtpWebRequest.
