The CD i5/OS® FTP client subcommand changes the working directory, library, or file group on the remote system.

 

FTP client subcommand

CD directory

directory

The name of a file directory, library, or other system-dependent file-group designator on the remote system.

If the remote system is a System i™ product, this subcommand changes the current library or directory. To find out what directories are on the remote system, use the Directory (DIR) subcommand to get a listing.

Use the DIR subcommand with caution.

When using the subcommand CD (or LCD) to change from one i5/OS file system to another, specify the root directory of the file system that contains the new current directory.
