I think I'll start with George's suggestion first and see what it brings. This is for a single customer but I'm sure it will grow but we will start slow. I'll let everyone know how it turns out. --------------------------------- Kirk Goins IBM Certified AS/400 Technical Solutions Pacific Information Systems - An IBM Premier Business Partner 503-290-2104 kirkg@pacinfosys.com --------------------------------- "Lemen, George (Contractor)" <george.lemen@weyerhaeuser.com> Sent by: owner-midrange-l@midrange.com 06/21/00 08:25 PM Please respond to MIDRANGE-L To: "'Midrange-L'" <MIDRANGE-L@midrange.com> cc: Subject: re: FTP questions Kirk -- When we did this, we created an FTP script that used "quote rcmd <as400cmd>" where <as400cmd> was a command that is found in the library list for TCP server on the AS/400. I think the command we used was of the form "CALL applib/apppgm" where we called out a specific application library (applib) and custom program (apppgm). We secured the program so that only the AS/400 user that NT used in the FTP processing could use it. (Yes, we had to be sure the NT server was "secure" too!) There was one other trick: "-s" on NT's FTP command allows running a script that can have a user ID and password buried in it (OK no flames -- I know that isn't the best from a security standpoint!). These two tricks got us a totally "hands off" process that could be kicked off by a OEM scheduler on the NT side.
