Re: Transferring files from NT to System/36

[Patrick Townsend <townsend@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

I'm a little confused about your environment. Are you using the S/36
operating system (SSP) on the Advanced 436 or are you using OS/400? The
last time I touched a S/36 (a *really* long time ago) it did not have
FTP support. But if you are running OS/400 with the System/36
environment then you have FTP. 

If you have OS/400 with FTP support you can automate the transfers from
the NT to the AS/400 with our FTP Manager product
(http://www.patownsend.com/FTPManager.htm). Or you can write your own
interface to FTP using CL and some scripting files. There is an example
of how to do this on the News/400 web site and some other folks will
probably point you to some examples.

hth,
Patrick
