Jeff,

It performs the function of a "trigger" in the sense that you can call a program via HTTP. So you'd do your FTP upload, then when you're done, you'd use WGET, HTTPAPI, GETURI, or another similar tool to run a program on the web server -- presumably this program would begin the process of loading those files that you just FTPed.

wget will run in PASE -- if you have adequate Unix knowledge, you should be able to get it to work.

HTTPAPI or GETURI are native RPG/CL applications and might be more intuitive to someone who is familiar with IBM i, but not with Unix.

A contractor is doing a website product search for us (not live yet). I am
creating the search files on the System I and FTPing them to our godaddy
website. I have this working.

The contractor says he needs a trigger of some sort to indicate the file
uploads are complete. He suggested wget. I'd never heard of wget and what
I read about it sure didn't sound like a 'trigger' but that's probably just
me. :)

The archives seem to suggest either geturi or httpapi can function as a
wget. Sound reasonable? I'm still having brainlock on how a utility
designed to copy webpages functions as a trigger, but as I said that's
probably just me.

Thanks.
