Hello,
I wrote my own utility for this... it detects when the file transfer
gets disconnected, or "hung up", and will disconnect and resume where it
left off. (Including continuing the FTP from the middle of a file, if
necessary... a feature IBM's FTP client on i does not support.)
Works very well for me.

Thomas,
I too have had problems with downloads on the iSeries computer. They seem
to time out between the big binary files.
I now use the download director to get the cume images to my PC, then
upload
them using FTP to the image catalog directory. This seems to work the
best
for now.
I would really like to use the method that Jerry suggests, as I could
start
it in the evening and let it work all night long, without much impact to
the
daytime communications, but there is something in my network that seems to
limit the number of bytes or the time that our iSeries can be connected to
IBM using FTP.

Hi,
I've been trying to get the download capability of cume ptf's to work for
us
through Fix Central. It SAYS and APPEARS to be working, but when I try
to
load the images to a virtual device, it fails.
First of all, the files are being downloaded directly to the iSeries. It
creates the directory and lists the files it's creating. The sizes are
listed and you can see continual updates of the files being populated.
However, when the download completes (hours later), the files do not even
approach the number of bytes in size (almost 20 gigabytes in aggregate)
that
the download indicated were being transferred. Also, more than a few of
the
files said to be transferred do not exist on the iSeries after the
transfer.
Second, when I do get a complete set of files transferred, and try to
load
them into a catalog image, that fails as well. The error message implies
the binary data downloaded is not in fact an image.
Has anyone encountered this? I know I've downloaded PTFs before, but
never
an entire cume. And I never attempted to create a virtual image before.
I
always burned CDs.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Tom Garvey
