I am, of course, already familiar with the idea of scripting FTP by doing an OVRDBF of INPUT to a source member containing the commands to be executed; I use that principle in a number of utilities, both internal and distributed with our products.

But this has a drawback, in that unless the FTP server allows anonymous mode, the user profile and password are exposed in that source member, for a minimum of slightly longer than the life of the FTP session.

Does anybody know of another way to script FTP? The idea here is to provide a way to automatically propagate a save file containing a product from one machine (or LPAR) to another, and automatically install the product on the target machine.

V4-compatibility is not an issue here, but avoiding outside commercial products would be.
