Rob,

You can't "send a socket" over a network. A socket is a software "device" that your program uses to communicate with the networking code in the operating system. This networking code will send data over a network, but it doesn't send the socket...

The analogy I use when teaching is that a socket is like a telephone. When you make a phone call your words (data) gets sent to the other person... but the phone itself doesn't actually get sent :-)

Also, I don't understand how reading the code for FTPAPI will help Gary understand why a completely different program is putting status messages on his screen...?

Basically your 'client' communicates with another server. That server
send a 'socket' with that information in it. You read that socket and
then display that information. It's not something that's gleaned from any
joblog or anything.

Some ftp clients can be configured to log this script output to files. You
might then be able to search those files. Of course, these files are
likely to be stream files and be outside of the QSYS.LIB file system.
