[Ian Scotson <IanS@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

I must admit, the main stuff ive be transferring is 
Source code and savf.

Seems to hang together OK for that.
Im on V4R5.
latest WS_FTP
I'm sure their AS400 code is the foremost on their mind.
Unix/NT I would reckon.

Ian.

Ian - I've had some funky results with the WS FTP Pro version lately.
When sending a folder from my pc to an ifs directory, if the folder is
already on the AS400, some, but not all files get copied. It looks to
be doing "last update" checking and not working correctly. No apparent
option to turn off.
Also a problem with mixed-case file names. I've reported to their
tech support, but no response yet.
