Re: subject: Re: Electronic Software Delivery - Bandwidth Question

Edith,

I use the SNDPTFORD command from the 5250 screen, and select options to
create an image and to put it in a folder on the IFS. I usually start this
in the evening, i5/OS (V5R4) gets the CUME, group(s), or individual PTF(s)
and they are there in the morning. I add the images to a image catalog, and
away we go for applying.

I have tried FTP and Download Director in the past, and neither one works
well for me. The FTP stops after one image is retrieved, and I take my
Laptop home every night, so Download DIrector is really not a good option.

Our connection speed to the internet is 30 megabit up and down, and is
shared to run 3 remote warehouses over VPN in addition to our website
traffic and other internet access.

HTH

Jim

I LOVE the breakfast cereal comment - which of course does mean that
bandwidth needs to be considered for some time to come.
I appreciate all the feedback you've sent so far

What we are looking for is a good chance to serve most folks
electronically, quickly and efficiently, which means not only the download
time, but also the location of the images, easy to find, easy to read and
understand.

Again, thanks for the help, and if anyone hasn't been 'counted' yet, keep
the feedback coming.
