Earlier versions of the MPE/iX LISTF command may not report files in the POSIX name space; the LISTFILE command must be used instead. The FTP/iX client's LS and DIR commands provide a means to list the files on the remote host (refer to earlier sections of this manual for syntax and usage of these commands). If no file set is specified, the default is (./@). To list files located on the clients host, use either ":listf <parms>" or ":listfile <parms>". Refer to the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual for command syntax and usage.

A POSIX file name can be fully qualified from the Root (/), qualified from the current working directory (./) or qualified from the parent of the current working directory (../).

Example 1:

This example specifies a file name qualified from the Root (/). 

 ftp> pwd
 257-"/SYS/PUB" is the current directory.
 257 ",MANAGER.SYS,PUB" is the current session.

 ftp> dir /SYS/PUB/CATALOG
 200 PORT command ok.
 150 File: LISTFILE /SYS/PUB/CATALOG,2 opened; data connection will
   be opened
  PATH= /SYS/PUB/

  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
          SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

           80B  FA       13735      13735  16     4304 17  * *CATALOG

Example 2:

This example specifies a file name qualified from the current working directory "cwd". It is the same file as used in the previous example. 

 ftp> pwd
 257-"/SYS/PUB" is the current directory.
 257 ",MANAGER.SYS,PUB" is the current session.

 ftp> dir ./CATALOG
 200 PORT command ok.
 150 File: LISTFILE ./CATALOG,2 opened; data connection will be opened
  PATH= /SYS/PUB/

  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME
          SIZE  TYP        EOF      LIMIT R/B  SECTORS #X MX

           80B  FA       13735      13735  16     4304 17  * *CATALOG
