Re: Using SNADS to transfer file

SNADS provides 'pretty darn assured' file transfer. Of course, if
subsystem QSNADS isn't running or you've reached your ASP threshold, bad
things happen. But SNADS will retry a transfer a (configured) number of
times before it gives up, while you would need to put FTP into a CL or
something to get a level of reliability.

SNADS is a 'store and forward' mechanism, FTP is an immediate transfer.
