RE: FTP with resume on IBMi

Laurence,

We move large amounts of data from one LPAR to another.
No FTP.
Two methods.
1) save the object, restore the object via BRMS
2) SAVRSTOBJ

Subject: Re: FTP with resume on IBMi

Sent my message before I completed it :-( Anyway does this seems reasonable? is there a a way to allow a Power server running IBMi 7.1 to resume failed FTP sessions ?

Thanks

I wonder if anybody can provide some advice here. Currently we run a
standard ftp session from one Power server to another each day. The
files are about 40GB in total but that's not an issue since it's in
the DC and the Power servers have GBe NICs.

We now have to do that transfer over 2600km on a shared 200Mbs link.
We haven't deployed a Power server in the remote location yet but in
testing with running ftp on a Windows 10 machine, we are experiencing
the occasional dropouts. We would ideally like to move to sftp but for
various reasons we cannot upgrade the source machine at this time.

FTP is not great protocol but we are stuck with it. We were thinking
of using something like WinSCP on the Windows client so that at least
it could resume a failed transfer. Well that is what is documented
