Re: Automate FTP

[Rob Berendt <rob@xxxxxxxxx>]

The standard way is to create a file, (often a source file), with all
 of your FTP script in it.  Then you 'pipe' this into FTP.  You should 
also 'pipe' the output received from the FTP session into a file.  This 
is good for diagnostic reasons, and also it will let the FTP command 
end.  A sample CL might contain:
PGM        PARM(&RMTSYSTEM)                       
DCL        VAR(&RMTSYSTEM) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(200)   
OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(MYLIB/FTPSCRIPT)    
OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(MYLIB/FTPOUTPUT)   
FTP        RMTSYS(&RMTSYSTEM)                     
DLTOVR     FILE(INPUT)                            
DLTOVR     FILE(OUTPUT)                           
CALL       PGM(ANALYZER) /* Analyze FTP output */ 
ENDPGM                                            

If this is the kankinsurance out of Ft Wayne, say hello to Clifford 
Clarke from Rob Berendt.  I miss seeing you guys at STATUS.

Subject:        Automate FTP

Is there is way that I can automate a file transfer from the AS/400 to an
FTP Site?
