Raj,

You need to copy your FTP commands into a database file, then override that
command file to the AS/400 FTP command.

1. Using the CRTPF command, create a physical file length 132. Call the
file something like "FTPCMDS".

2. Populate this file (FTPCMDS) with your FTP requests (I use DFU or an RPG
program).
example:
USER PASSWORD
PUT FILE1.MEMBER1 FILE2
GET FILE3 FILE4.MEMBER4
QUIT

3. From your CL (or command line if running interactivaly), issue this
override command:
        OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(FTPCMDS) MBR(*FIRST) 

4. Start your FTP command.
        STRTCPFTP RMTSYS(destination) or FTP RMTSYS(destination)

5. End your overrides
        DLTOVR FILE(*ALL)

I have automated the process into a program I call GET that I pass the
local and destination file names to a program, the program GET will then
create the overrides and transfer the files for me. This saves a lot of
time, and I have a put/get command available from the AS/400 command line
like I have in Unix -- without having to jump through the above hoops for
each file I transfer (which is several hundred every day!).

Hope this helps.
