RE: FTP questions

We have a product that monitors for files in NT directories then tickles
the AS/400 to notify it. The same product can also squirt the file over
to the AS/400 formatting it into a DBF if required. Alternatively you
can run a process on the 400 to go get the file but that's probably an
unnecessary step.
