RE: Batch file transfer with Client Access -- MIDRANGE-L

We use RFROMPCB (and RTOPCB) via Windows Scheduler multiple times daily for this.

You might also look at Aaron Bartell's data queue option. I've used that to launch tasks from the IBM-i instead of from the Windows side.

Look for information about the RFROMPCB command in the i Access help,
or online...

Also there's a help topic "To run a data transfer request in batch
mode" which mentions a RXFERPCB command intended to run unattended.

HTH,

Howdy folks,
I’m thinking the subject says it all, but we are trying to do a file transfer from an iSeries system down to a PC. We are also (goes without saying) converting ebcdic to ascii. The data contains packed fields and this fact seems to have eliminated some of our first attempts using FTP2 from Taatools and also SecureZip from PKWare.
We have been successful using file transfer (Client Access) interactively. We now would like to test this file transfer as a batch job. We would like to run the batch job on a server and pull the file down.

Thanks, Larry
