RE: FTP

[Bud Roble <BRoble@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is pretty much the technique I've used also.     Once you get the files
into IFS you can run a program on the AS400 to zip them up for faster
transmission.     I used a freeware program called GZIP.    You can download
the AS400 version for free.    Files zipped on the AS400 with GZIP will
unzip with WinZip on the other end.

This is how I did it...

CPYF the database file to the IFS.
Run an RPG program to create a file that has all the FTP commands - called
EDIFTP
Override the FTP input and output files
     OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(EDIFTP) MBR(*FIRST)
     OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(EDILOG) MBR(*FIRST)
FTP the Remote system
     FTP        RMTSYS('###.###.###.###')
Reset the Overrides
     OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT)
     OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT)
Then I scan the log file for errors and send an email via Help Systems Alert
product.

Has anyone used FTP to transfer a file from the AS400 to a server with a
automated program?
