Re: Commands on Remote FTP

Dave,

We have some customers sending files to NT servers using FTP and then
relying on a product called File Dog (not sure of the name) to detect the
file and load it to a database on NT. You can also launch a batch process
using RUNRMTCMD and an Rexec server on the NT.
