Jim,

You can script the AS/400 FTP client, to point the FTP client to a
source
member containing the FTP script just issue the OVRDBF command as below:

OvrDbf File(INPUT) ToFile(QCLSRC) Mbr(FTP_Scrpit) /* FTP Script  */ 
OvrDbf File(OUTPUT) ToFile(QCLSRC) Mbr(FTP_LOG)   /* FTP Log     */ 
FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or FTP server Name

The FTP client will get the FTP commands from source member FTP_Script
and the FTP log will go to source member FTP_LOG.

Sample script to log in as ANONYMOUS and get file listing to log:

ANONYMOUS ANONYMOUS
CD directory             
ls                 
QUIT               

You can then read the log or whatever!!!

You could also do puts, gets, whatever.

Hope this helps,

Billy
