Hello! I've been trying to get wget to retrieve a file off of our AS/400 using ftp. I'm using wget 1.8.2 on a RedHat Enterprise Linux 3.0 box. The debug output is below.
I don't know if you're familiar with AS/400's. They use libraries instead of a directory structure. All libraries are considered root level. So, the library below that I'm trying to retrieve from is SAVLIB, which would in unix be /SAVLIB. However, my default library is OKLIB (in unix, /OKLIB). Now, on an AS/400, for ftp, if you're trying to change libraries, since all libraries are off of the root, the change directory command shouldn't take into account the current directory. So, instead of CWD OKLIB/SAVLIB, it should be CWD SAVLIB. I've tried putting another slash in front of the SAVLIB to force a "root" change, but that doesn't work. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I'd like to point out that I can log in with ftp and retrieve the file, and curl works (but I don't want to have to do the redirect). Any suggestions?
