![ftp physical file from one IBM i to another](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5E1h7FxPcpV55Pz2PmVt9OPOVA1EvWWHh-GOKmxaFzOeyjQTmi0cw5sH2PEUxXYwFFqNAG5BOlo8O564vbz_ZQHy2pJOnfFqP1b4zvsQXJlwlbL14BsYkTZYmkNaO13DcuFrBfpGxBLf7/s200/ops.png)
Having gone through a lot of the basics of using FTP, File Transfer Protocol, on an IBM i in the post FTP i-to-i part 1, in this post I will describe how I can transfer physical files, using FTP, to another instance of IBM i, whether it be another partition or another server.
In this scenario I have a job on QSRV1 that generates physical files that need to be transferred to QSRV2 to be processed. If this was a real job I would automate the FTP transfer, I will explain how to do it in Part 3. But in this post I am going describe how I would do it manually, one FTP subcommand at a time.
