Re: RS-6000 to AS/400 communications

[DennisLovelady@xxxxxxxxx (Dennis Lovelady)]

Hi, Art:

I would suggest FTP, since it is native to unix, included within OS/400,
quite efficient, and a well-known standard worldwide.

RS/6000 can talk SNA, but it is not inherent to the O/S.  I believe 
it is also an extra expense (in terms of efficiency and product).

Subject: RS-6000 to AS/400 communications

What is the easiest way to transfer a file from an RS/6000 to an AS/400
over a switched line?

We are planning on putting the two machines on an ethernet network, but
that will take some time.  We need to get a file to the 400 once a day.

Does the RS/6000 talk SNA?  Our AS/400 has a wildcat BBS front end,
should we use that?
