Unfortunatly not. The NT server belongs to an other company and for different 
reason, no batch job msut run from this machine.

Any chance of doing it from the NT side??  That way you could run a batch
job on the NT to get the file
and then run whatever you needed to after that.

Hello all,

I know that the AS/400 can serve web pages but can an AS/400 program
request a page from another server?

We need this capability for the folowing reason:

Each nignt, our AS/400 send a files to an NT server via FTP. After
receiving the file, the NT server must start a process that will
incorporate the file's data into an intranet application. The way to start
the processing in the NT server is to request a web page that as a CGI
program linked to it.

We can not put a program on the NT server that would monitor activity on
the transfered file.

I hope my explanation is clear enought

Thank you in advance
