ListDir on AS400 (wodSFTP / wodSFTP.NET / wodSFTPdll)

by tris, Thursday, May 03, 2007, 09:38 (6415 days ago)

Short question...

Is there a possibility to use the ListDir -function on an AS400?

That machine does not understand ls -al :


ftp> ls -al
200 PORT subcommand request successful.
550 Path does not exist: -al


Only possibility would be a dir , what is formated like this:

QLPINSTALL 12288 05.12.05 14:38:40 *DIR QSR/
QSYS 8192 23.03.05 12:24:50 *DIR var/
QSYS 40960 23.03.05 12:24:56 *DIR lib/
QSYS 8192 21.11.05 15:21:11 *DIR www/
QSYS 57344 23.03.05 12:19:31 *DIR bin/

If necessary, I could even parse it by myself, but how to send a dir?

Hi Tris,

Please try setting ListParams Property to .

By default, we send -al parametars when we issue List command. This Property is used to customize those parameters.

Hope this helps.

Thank you... at least I could now parse it on my own. But information isn't parsed in your objectmodel correctly.

Isn't this format supported by your component?

Not officially. However, we can help and improve our parser. If you would be so kind to send us sample directory listings, we would be happy to make improvements.

How fast could that definition be implemented in your compiler? If I don't have to wait for it too long, i'd like to use it instead of parsing the information by my self, because i could use your objectmodel and the user would not have to choose type of parsing.

Tris,

it could be even today (or in next 24 hrs).

Does AS/400 have 2 different datasets? Partitioned and nonpartitioned? How are they differentiated? Which one did you show sample for?

Any chance we can connect there?

Sorry, I can't give you access to our AS/400 machine.

But I've create an account for you on a german open AS/400 system. Mailed you the login information.

Thank you for the account, we have received the credentials.

Please leave the server open, we will do the testing during the day, and inform you when we are done.

We made some changes to wodFtpDLX (ActiveX). Please download it again and try against your server. I hope it will work ok - but you should try it out.

You *MAY* set DirFormat = fmtAS400 but I think it will autodetect it anyway.

Let me know how it goes!

Sorry to reopen such an old thread, but were these changes for AS400 also implemented in the .Net FtpDLX component?

Hi Everett,

Yes, the wodFtpDLX.Net also does support AS400 file system. You can specify it using the DirFormat property of the main object.

Hope this helps.

Re: ListDir on AS400

Thanks!

When setting the DirFormat to AS400 is it no longer necessary to set ListParams to an empty string (instead of the default -al ) or send the QUOTE SITE NAMEFMT 1 command? I've seen both of these workarounds listed elsewhere in the forums for calling ListDir and accessing DirItems on an AS400.

I've also been testing setting the DirFormat to a value that doesn't match the server, but it doesn't appear to affect the behavior (e.g. DirFormat set to AS400 and connect to a UNIX ftp server). Should this generate any type of error when using ListDir and DirItems?

Everett,


I don't think that AS400 server is using -al parameter for LIST command. Unfortunately I cannot be sure because we don't have such server for a test.

You can check command that is send and server reply inside wodFtpDLX.NET FtpRepy Event using Command and ReplyText statement there.

If you are using one value in DirFormat and connect to some other server type you could receive parsing problem with DirItems collection.
