FTP on the AS/400 allows batch processing using a "file"
called INPUT...if you 

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(SCRIPT)

where SCRIPT is a file containing FTP commands, then run
FTP <system name>, the commands in SCRIPT are run
automagically.  You can also override file OUTPUT in the
same manner and get a "log" of the FTP command results. 
BIG drawback is you've gotta put the password in the file -
once you OVRDBF, *ALL input to FTP has to come from
your overridden file.
