Re: FTP (replace Not working as expected

Hmmm - it looks like the file you are GETting is growing. Are you able to
get on the remote system and see its contents?

The '150' message comes from the server. It seems to say there are that
many bytes in the object on that server. The count is almost as many as are
transferred.

GET has never has an APPEND feature, that I know of.

You could CLRPFM in whatever runs ftp, right? Or put a '!' in the script
with a 'clrpfm' after it. The '!' means to run the local command that
follows it. It's a synonym for 'syscmd'
