RE: FTP From AS/400

Rusty,

This is something I've done before.   If you want, I can send you source
code listings for my programs and ftp script.   I had to automatically send
sales order information from an AS400 to a Unix box automatically each time
an order was closed.   The order information was converted to an ASCII flat
file and zipped with GZIP on the AS400, then ftp'd to the unix box.   This
all happened automatically and transparently anytime a user closed an order.
At the time I did this, you could download an AS400 version of GZIP for
free.   I'm not sure whether that's still possible or not.   You may not
want to zip the files anyway if you're not sending that much data.

are both boxes on the web?  Can you ping the target box from your 400?
