RE: ftp in cl

[Eric <Eric@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Wayne,
        We do a FTP file transfer from Unix to the AS/400 on a nightly basis. 
 Originally we considered using CL to do the job but we found that it was 
far easier to use a RPG program (with assistance from Scott Lindstrom). 
 The RPG program changes the file name (which is passed as a parm) in the 
FTP command file, checks for FTP errors within the FTP log, and FTPs the 
file from the UNIX system.  The FTP commands and log are stored within an 
physical file.  Manipulating the file, IMHO, is far easier than modifying 
the CL.

Subject:        ftp in cl

I'm trying to create a CL program that will perform an automatic FTP
connection and file transfer between two AS/400's.  Does anyone know if
there is a way to imbed the ftp subcommands in the CL.  The user and
password, and file andm member names, will all be static.  The job will
run once a day and overlay any previous data.  Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Wayne
