Hi robfromroswell, <br />
<br />
OS400 and PC should be running the same name format when you transfer the file from one to the other. <br />
<br />
On the PC side the Dos FTP command is <br />
<br />
'Quote site namefmt 1'<br />
<br />
on as400 u can just give <br />
<br />
'namefmt 1' only.<br />
<br />
I think this will solve your problem <br />
<br />
Regards<br />
<br />

I entered the namefmt command on the AS/400 side per your suggestion, but I am still getting a 258 byte file. &nbsp;

When I ftp (in ASCII mode) a 256 byte file from the AS400 to a PC &nbsp;I end up with a 258 byte file on the PC. &nbsp;Using the &quot;bin&quot; command makes the file unreadable by the PC software that's trying to process it. &nbsp;How can I get rid of the two extra characters?

When I ftp (in ASCII mode) a 256 byte file from the AS400 to a PC  I end up with a 258 byte file on the PC.  Using the "bin" command makes the file unreadable by the PC software that's trying to process it.  How can I get rid of the two extra characters?

FTP from AS400 to PC adds extra characters
