Re: FTP An entire lib -- MIDRANGE-L

Or, as others have said, to get them all. use mget *.savf. Also, be sure to change to binary mode.

In Windows a script can be written to do this, and there is an option on the ftp command to name this script. The issue is the user ID and password. I usually make a BAT file that accepts the user id and password as parameters, then builds the script with "echo" commands redirected to that script (> for the first line, to create the script, >> to add more lines), and then execute ftp, finally deleting the script to get rid of hard-coded login data. You could redirect output of the ftp command to a log file, then analyze it.

Not so hard as it seems. IIRC, there's a possible gotcha - you might need to put user id and password on the same line, with a space between. Or they need to be on separate lines. One is the right way - I forget.

You might be better off using the "pull" logic, where you write a little
.bat file that performs the connection to the iSeries, changes the
directory into the proper library, and then performs a GET operation for
each save file you want to grab.

HI we are looking to FTP a library that contains several SAVF's to a PC
location.
Is there anything involved more than "PUT" ? How would you monitor for a
successful send?
