Hi guys,

I'm looking at a job that needs to transfer a CSV file from
a DB400 file to a Win2K pro PC for eventual sending to
a number of Retail stores via s/ware on the Win2K Pro PC.

It has been currently done via ODBC into access, then moved
via a Mapped drive method - very messy to me and damn
slow  - mainly im told because a RMTCMD wouldnt work
because of Conflicting OCX type problems?

Anyway, my feeling is that doing all conversion work to CSV on the
AS400 (V5R1) via CPYTOIMPF with maybe a little help from
a bit of freeware (CRTCSVDTA) courtesy of Martin Rowe, and then
FTP'g it to the PC would be the better/cleaner/quicker/etc way to
go.

Having said that, what FTP server on the Win2K should i use??
I believe Win2K Pro has it own FTP server - would that work OK?
If so, is it easy to setup and get working?Reliable?
Or maybe some other freeware/shareware product?
Probably cant justify a full blown commercial product ( other than pretty cheap 
one..)

Any recommendations that work well with the AS400 would be most welcome.

Regards


Ian Scotson.
