Re: Using SNADS to transfer file

[michaelr_41@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

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.
