Behind The Button -- Socket File Transfer

[daparnin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Here's a quick one for late on a Friday afternoon...

I'm new to Sockets.  I've been reading Scott's tutorial and the Sorcerer's
Guide so I know enough to be dangerous.  I've got a file that I want to
transmit from our iSeries to a Web-hosted system.  A browser displays the
web page as a box where you can enter the name of the file on your PC to
upload and then a button to upload it.  How do I emulate the file transfer
that the button does with sockets?

Currently the data to be transmitted is in a DB2 file.  It would be nice to
be able to open a connection that creates a file on their system and then
just reads and writes one record at a time.  If it facilitates the transfer
I could write it out to the IFS for something like a FTP "put".  I'm open
to suggestion.
