RE: Batch FTP

["Martin, Booth" <BoothM@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doesn't b) just open the local host for local ftp, then immediately close
the connection, then open the real connection that you want? It doesn't even
do anything at that first step except to issue the "close" command.  Would
it have been some programmer's idea of a way to see if the local FTP server
was actually running?

b) FTP RMTSYS(LOOPBACK)
        and then in the command input file the code will be something like
this :

                XXXXXXX **********      -> This is the dummy login/Password 
                close                           
                OPEN '192.168.45.90'
                USER  zzzzzz aaaaaa
                PUT ....
                -------
                -------
                CLOSE   
                

Thanks

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