RE: FTP Externally Described Files -- MIDRANGE-L

If you're going to use SNADS may I recommend SAVRSTOBJ instead of 
the tedius combination of SAVOBJ, SNDNETF, STRPASTHR, WRKNETF, RCVNETF, 
RSTOBJ?  SAVRSTOBJ is on the system if you install the free:
5769SS1-22-OS/400 - ObjectConnect
For a listing of other related commands enter SAVRST*.

Seems like if you have 2 as/400s it might work better to use the old SNADS
command of SNDNETF.  This preserves the external description of the file.
It may not be as modern or "sexy" as FTP - but it works.

        I am trying to FTP a file between two AS/400's.
        The file will transfer fine, but it loses its external description
and turns
        into a flat file.
        I have RTFM and tried all the options that I thought were
applicable.
        Note: I am transferring from a V4.4 machine to a V4.3 machine.
