RE: spool files

Got this to work. Maybe I was using bin but what made it more confussing was
I started having trouble with e-mail so I printed out the spool file and
tried to fax it but kept getting 'send fail', it was starting to look like
New Year's Day! (kidding)
        Anyway I tried the ftp again and it worked fine. E-mailed the file
out.
Thanks,
Art

Art,

It may be that your FTP client is transferring the file in Binary format
instead of Ascii ?

Try entering/selecting ascii after logging into the FTP session.

Hi,
        I wanted to send a copy of a spool file over to a client of my. To
do this I created a physical file from the spool file, FTP it to my PC, then
attached the file in an e-mail to the client. Well the file is a grabbled
mess, can not read it. I tried to open the file with acrobat or wordpad or a
few other editors but still cannot read it. How can I transfer a spool file
to my PC so it can be sent with e-mail?
Also, they didn't know the IP address to their AS400 so connecting the 400's
together is not an option.
TIA
Art
