Re: [EXT] get transaction time from FTP Outfile

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

As a general response to automating FTP - I heartily recommend Scott 
Klement's FTP API - a set of procedures for each step in an FTP session 
- and you get return info for each - so you don't need these overriding 
scripts, and you get error handling at the point of the activity - no 
more parsing of output files.

It's on his site - www.scottklement.com

Vern
