Whoa!

Doesn't this outline, step-by-step, how to "backdoor" an AS/400 from a PC?
Perhaps a bit more
discretion and security awareness should be exercised before posting

going to Start,
Programs, MS Dos command prompt and doing the following:

ftp://xxx.xx.xxx.xx/filetodownload doesn't work.

debug your exit point
program.  Simple enough using STRSRVJOB and stuff.
