Why are you using ftp to send stuff to windows... why not put it on the
IFS
and either run a job which constantly checks for data and pulls it when
needed or use the runrmtcmd command to call a job on the Windows side
which
can copy the data? You could map a share on the IFS and then just map
the
server to the share.

In my last company we did very little with FTP. Instead we did most
(and
we did a lot of data transfers between the iSeries and Windows servers)
by
either having the Windows side have a job which would be running and
every x
amount of minutes check to see if data was available and copy it from
the
IFS. The reason we changed from FTP is when we were using FTP it
seemed
to spike the CPU on the iSeries.
