Re: Bypassing or passing signon info

We use CA file transfer several times daily from the Windows scheduler. 
As long as you've established a connection once, it shouldn't require a
user id/password.  We just have an autostart entry (and, as backup, a
desktop icon) that does a one record transfer when the PC starts up.  CA
prompts for user id & password.  It's the operators responsibility to
enter the ID & password at that point and it's good-to-go untill you
reboot the PC or take down the 400 (or whatever services).  You might
also Google 'password caching' for CA.

You might consider scheduling on the pc a ftp to your iSeries instead of
CA 
transfer.
This is a batch file (.bat) that executes a ftp
The ftp uses a pc .txt file to contain the ftp id & pwd & ftp commands
FTP exit pgm on iSeries only accepts this logon from this server & ftp
user 
id cannot signon anywhere. Other exit points block this id. You could
have a 
vb pgm update the text file with user & pwd, then remove when complete.

Is there a way to bypass the user-id and PW screen you get when doing

a 

Data
transfer(DTF) using CA. We want to schedule an transfer using the

windows

scheduler to run the DTF's then FTP the files to another system? Does 
anyone
know if this attainable?
