Re: Batch FTP

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

you mean what is the difference between typing:
FTP 'LOCALHOST'
versus
FTP '127.0.0.1'
or
FTP '183.234.32.53' (if that is your public IP of your AS/400)

There is actually no difference once you get into the FTP server.
There might be a difference in a few milliseconds for it to resolve
LOCALHOST to 127.0.0.1.

Personally, I type ftp 'localhost' as it's much easier to type than
ftp '127.0.0.1'.
