Filezilla to download and upload into a specfic member in the given library and source physical file

  • 1.  Filezilla to download and upload into a specfic member in the given library and source physical file

    Posted Thu October 12, 2023 07:16 AM

    Hi,

    I have some source code present in a text file to quickly upload it into a given library and source physical file's specfic member

    when i am trying to access that member i can't find it under remote site in filezill it stops after let's say my rpg source resides in QRPGLESRC

    so if i access this path on remote site on filezilla :- 'QSYS.LIB/Mylibname.lib/'

    then i am not sure how can i find my source member there using this filezilla.

    I believe in case i am able to find it out on remote site (on right side) on filezilla then simply i could drag that source member to my desktop or to a given disk drive location (folder/subfolder/or even in one drive?) (alternative to FTP) and reverse ( any text file to upload in a given library name /source physical file name and in to a given source member name  ?) could also be done here?

    if yes, could someone please help steps if i am missing any thing here please?

    Thanks

    Dear Steve

    A few months ago, I tried using FileZilla against IBM i but I have a faint memory that I found that its GUI is not designed with the recognition of IBM i physical file member.  But I see from a Google search that you may use FTP command line mode with NAMEFMT 0 by specifying IBM i member in the following format :  <library name>/<physical file name>.<member name>

    Since I know from a past thread that you use VS Code, you should try the new Db2 For i Extensions For VS Code, the details of which can be found at https://www.itjungle.com/2023/10/09/ibm-releases-db2-for-i-extensions-for-vs-code/   I would hope that it may provide you with the ability to access members of source physical files.
