RE: ftp to the ifs from a database file

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

Did you ftp to the loopback address of 127.0.0.1 or were you beating the
#$%^ out of your comm resources?

The problem I noticed was that it took nearly six times as long to FTP a
database file from the 400 to a text file in the IFS on the same machine
than it did to FTP the same database file to a text file on my PC.  The
zipping comes after the conversion to a text file.
