RE: Multiple File FTP

[AGlauser@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hi Ray,

Thanks for the info. It seems that I was a bit hasty in suggesting the 
append command before - I should have read the command help.  Append 
actually uploads files rather than downloading them.  As far as I can tell 
there isn't a command in the OS/i5 FTP client that allows download of 
multiple files into one file.

That being said, you might be able to:

MGET *
Run QSH ('cat /path/to/downloads/* > bigfile')  (cat concatenates file 
together)

Given this, if you are interested in using an RPG program and FTPAPI, I 
could send you some source that implements gets all files in an FTP 
directory, deleting them as the are downloaded (so you don't reprocess 
them).

HTH,
