                AS400 as400 = new AS400("11.11.11.124","user","password");
 
               
                IFSFile directory = new IFSFile(as400, directoryName);
 

                                 IFSFile[] directoryFiles = directory.listFiles();
                // Tell the user if the directory doesn't exist or is empty
 
               
                for (int i=0; i< directoryFiles.length; i++)

If your classpath includes only that one jar, then only classes in that jar will be found -- so your application class won't be found. You need to use a path with multiple entries. On UNIX, use ":" to separate the entries; on Windows, use ";". You can use "." (dot) to mean the current directory. So, for example, something like

java -classpath jt400.jar:. IFSListFiles

By including the "." entry, I'm telling Java to look in the current directory for classes, as well as in that jar.
