Re: Downloading multiple source members

["Chad S. Lauritsen" <csl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Use the FTP extensions to perl, it works like a charm (if you are
comfortable with perl, of course) you can get it from
http://www.CPAN.org

or there may be a free program like wget for the PC that will work in
batch mode, you can just specify a URL and download it like this:

wget ftp://as400.mydomain.com/mylib.lib/myfile.file
wget ftp://as400.mydomain.com/mylib.lib/otherfile.file
...etc.

hmmmm...in a quick look on the net, I don't see any free (or shareware)
ftp clients that advertise batch mode compatibility. There has got to be
one somewhere! However, doing it in perl is totally free and pretty
simple. I'd write the script for you if you are willing to download and
install perl and the FTP extensions for perl (not a hard thing to do).
