RE: EDI FTP Help

You can do all this using FTP commands.   You will have to write some
CLPs to do achieve all this.  

But I believe now you can read IFS files from RPGLE using some APIs.  

May be you can try this http://www.code400.com/writeifs.php

Also Copy From Stream File (CPYFRMSTMF) can copy files from your IFS to
AS/400 Flat files.  You can MPUT from ftp site to your IFS if it is
required.


Thanks

EDI FTP Help
We receive Advance Shipment Notifications from our distribution vendor
daily to a folder on a local  networked PC. These files are named as
856.86524229.09140321.718 and so on therefore the file names are
actually unknown without user intervention. I wish to grab all files in
this folder (directory) and FTP them up to the AS400 without user
intervention. I prefer to work from the AS400 using CL and FTP however I
have not been able to find FTP commands that will read a directory and
rename all the files. At that point I can do a MPUT and be OK , I think.
Also I would need to do this from the AS400 job scheduler. Can this be
accomplished utilizing these tools or must I look to some type of PC
script file and PC job scheduler.
Thank You
