How do I populate the Directory field in the receiver file adapter if I don't know the directory. I want to use "home directory", but I don't know what that is. I'm sending a file to a IBM i5 OS.

Their system rejects the change directory command, which PI always does. I had to write the file to our unix box and call a script to send it. Ugh.

I have already asked for the path. This is the answer I got.

Directory listings from FTP sessions are disabled. We use IBM i5 OS for the FTP server because it's immune to exploits aimed at Windows and Linux based servers. Since you can only "PUT" a file, it is analogous to a bank night deposit box (lots of companies can make deposits to this same metal box on the brick wall but none of them can use it to make withdrawals).
