RE: Dumb Question

John,

If I am understanding you correctly what you are looking at are FTP commands 
that are interpreted during run time by the FTP process on the iSeries.  
Usually these are invoked by the STRFTPSSN command.  By default it looks for a 
file named FTPIN for the input script and writes a log to FTPOUT.  These are 
usually overridden to more meaningful names in  the CL.

HTH,

Rick

I have a pretty dumb question but try to restrain from laughing (at least
right away) as I don't deal with the inner workings of the system to that
much

Our 3rd party vendor has a physical file which has FTP source code in it
(basic user-id and password info, etc). This somehow gets called in our
nightly process but as far as I know, it's not compiled anywhere. How does
it execute?
