RE: Automated FTP

Good Afternoon:

I have to ftp a file via internet to a remote 400 everyday. On the command
line I have to do a FTP F4, then our NT server address because our 400 is
behind the NT server. Then I need to call the remote server via
ftpa6800@address.com, then enter password; then I use PUT to process file
transfer.

I try to build a CL with OVRDBF with no success because I don't know how to
script the password. Can someone point me to a direction of setting up a FTP
script in 400, please ??

Thank you very much.

Subject: Automated FTP


We are discussing a project where I will need to FTP a file to a Digital
Alpha server
automatically every hour.  The last time I did this was in 1997.  Sample
CLP below.

OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(EGPL/QCLSRC) MBR(FTPCMDS)
OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(EGPL/QCLSRC) MBR(FTPOUT)

FTP        RMTSYS(ALPHA)

This works, but my dislike is checking for errors.  To determine if there
were any
problems with the transfer, you had to interrogate the FTPOUT.  With this
being an
automated process, having a program to read the FTPOUT looking for errors
isn't the
best of solutions in my opinion.

Is there a better way to handle this?

Thanks
