Re: Batch FTP failing to Fix Central

["bryan dietz" <bdietz400@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been using the GetiPTF( http://home.columbus.rr.com/jbmmdietz )
that I worte that does mgets of *.bin and *.txt files.

I too have noticed the failures at each file, but have not had any
time to figure it out.

I may be trying the keepalive as mentioned.  I have my doubts if it
will work or not.

I believe that IBM has changed servers but cannot verify.
