FTP AS400

["Lauritzen, Karl" <KLAURITZEN@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have tried to find this in archive but I find nothing that applies.
Please bear with me. I am only dangerous with TCP/IP.

I am trying to FTP from my 400 to a vendor.
I need to build a file and put it there then later come back and get it and
put on my 400 and run another program to put in my database.

Instead of fooling with NT server I want to do it all on 400.

Seems I can in a CL:
Run pgm to build file
FTP script to send file to vendor

Hours later have 400 CL:
FTP script to get file
Run pgm to print file and update database


I see how to write ftp scripts on 400.
What I cannot do is get to vendor ftp site with 400 ftp command.
FTP  server is running.
My 400 has an 10.x.x.x internal IP address.
I have a Sonic Wall firewall box on network that connects to cable provider
for Internet.

I can use my XP laptop connected to network to get to this FTP site no
problem. I try with AS400 FTP command and it does not.

I think I need to tell the 400 where my DNS server is to make it find this
ftp site on Internet.

How do I do this or am I wrong?
