Re: Automated FTP ---> ?CuteFTP -- MIDRANGE-L

I've tried CuteFTP and it is OK, but I prefer something that is more
"AS/400" friendly. The best I've found is the Renex FTP client
(http://www.renex.com). I also use WS_FTP with the AS/400. When you set it
up there is a dialog that asks what type of system you are connecting to.
AS/400 is one of the choices.

HTH,
