re: FTP from CL to a PC

Once you get the FTP Server running on your PC the example is straight out
of the manual:

4.3.15.1 Batch FTP: A Simple Example

The following is a simple example of a batch file transfer involving the
successful transfer of one file from a
remote system and the unsuccessful transfer of one file from a remote
system.

The components are as follows:
    A CL program
    An input file of FTP commands
    An output file of FTP messages

The CL Program
  ************************************************************
  ITSOLIB2/QCLSRC BATCHFTP:
  ----------------------
      PGM
      OVRDBF   FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(ITSOLIB2/QCLSRC) MBR(FTPCMDS)
      OVRDBF   FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(ITSOLIB2/QCLSRC) MBR(OUT)
      FTP      RMTSYS(SYSxxx)
      ENDPGM
  ************************************************************
The BATCHFTP program overrides the INPUT parameter to the source physical
file ITSOLIB1/QCLSRC
MBR(FTPCMDS).  The output is sent to MBR(OUT).

The Input Commands File
  ************************************************************
  RLDICK/QCLSRC FTPCMDS:
  ---------------------
  ITSO ITSO
  CD ITSOLIB1
  SYSCMD CHGCURLIB ITSOLIB2
  GET QCLSRC.BATCHFTP QCLSRC.BATCHFTP (REPLACE
  QUIT
  ************************************************************

The FTP subcommands required are shown in the FTPCMDS file.

The Output Messages File

  ************************************************************
  FTP Output Redirected to a File
  FTP Input from Overridden File

  at address x.xxx.xx.xxx using port 21.
  220-QTCP at SYSxxx.sysnam123.ibm.com.
  220 Connection will close if idle more than 5 minutes.
  215  OS/400 is the remote operating system.

  Enter an FTP subcommand.

  Enter an FTP subcommand.
  250 Current library changed to ITSOLIB1.
  > SYSCMD CHGCURLIB ITSOLIB2
  Enter an FTP subcommand.
  > GET QCLSRC.BATCHFTP QCLSRC.BATCHFTP (REPLACE
  200 PORT subcommand request successful.
  150 Retrieving member BATCHFTP in file QCLSRC in library ITSOLIB1.
  250 File transfer completed successfully.
  147 bytes transferred in 0.487 seconds. Transfer rate 0.302 KB/sec.
  Enter an FTP subcommand.
  > QUIT
  221 QUIT subcommand received.
  ************************************************************

The output file is shown.  It is a straightforward matter to write a
program to process this file and display an
error message on QSYSOPR if there are any error messages.  FTP error
messages have numbers that start
with a 4 or 5.
  ************************************************************  ***********

Freeware FTP server can be foun many places.  I like http://www.tucows.com
for TCP/IP related files.

Subject:  re: FTP from CL to a PC




Is anyone successfully sending an AS/400 file to a PC within a CL program?
Is there a write-up somewhere on how to do it?
(I want to FTP the only member in file   QTEMP/ABC   to  123.45.67.1
c:\home\abc.txt  as a comma-delimited file.
tia.
