Re: BATCH ftp ?

Mark,

Would the FTP "syscmd" function help you? You can execute various functions
in the FTP session then call an interactive program using syscmd. Or, you
could override the output of an FTP session to a file, run the listing,
close the session, then display the list.

If you are interested in a commercial solution you might look at our
Alliance FTP Manager product. It lets you bind FTP functions to your RPG
programs. More information here: http://www.patownsend.com
