RE: FTP.EXE

["Carl Friedberg, carl@xxxxxxxxxx" <FRIEDBERG@xxxxxxx>]

Bob, thanks for that pointer; I've used the ftp client on windows-nt
for several years and never looked at this help file. Particularly
the command list is quite helpful and appears to be a complete list
of the ftp commands supported by the Windows-nt ftp client.

Personally, I'd go for a more sophisticated batch scripting language
if I were writing "industrial strength" file transfers, but then
again, if it's running on a pc, it's just garbage, so who cares
about error checking, helpful messages, etc.

If you do care, you've got perl, visual basic, or delphi, all of
which can do a better job of scripting than cmd.exe.  Just my 2cents.
If you go for perl, get the net:: extension if you don't already have
it; that includes ftp protocol support.

Where can you find documentation for the FTP.EXE program.  I'm trying 
to figure out
how to send multiple files using generic names to the AS400 out of a 
batch file.
Searching the net has turned up very little and the help built in to 
the program is
a little skimpy for me.

Thanks
