Errr...  the AS/400 "script" should be able to do a GET from any FTP
server.   If your goal is to get from a web site, you'll need to use
HTTP software, not FTP software.

So, your plan is to run an FTP server on the PC, then have the AS/400 GET
the file from a remote server, and come back and FTP that same file to the
PC?  Why not just run the FTP script on the PC, and skip the need for a
separate FTP server on the PC and a script on the AS/400?

Still, if you do want to involve the AS/400, and/or use HTTP to grab
things, I do have some (free) utilities that might help you:

       http://klement.dstorm.net/httpapi/

The nice thing about my utilities over a traditional FTP script is that
you can check for errors on each step of the session, as it's happening,
and display information to the user, etc.
