Re: EDI FTP Help

You need a 2 phase FTP connection.
In phase 1, you connect to the remote FTP and issue the command
dir (disk
this will create a file called DIROUTPUT in your current library. 
Make sure to setup your current library beforehand.

In phase 2, your program reads the file, and creates a new FTP script
that for each entry creates 2 records:

get 856.86524229.09140321.718
del  856.86524229.09140321.718

All scripts must be redirected into the FTP command with OVRDBF.
