Re: More on "Transfer ID" was: QMGTOOLS

which is why I keep the "pre-filled" out FTP2IBMCMD in notepad to help remember the IBMID/PWD

I also read where this all gets wiped out with an MG Tools update? If so, brilliant! IBM only asks you to update it EVERY time you use it.

Yea, that's most likely true.  It has to do with the update process.  It just deletes QMGTOOS library and restores it.  Simple easy fast, except for your notable objection.  Maybe we can encourage IBM to change the user profile and password storage to a user space or something that's in QGPL, or QUSRSYS, or the IFS somewhere?  That would make it somewhat more tolerable to update it as often as we need to.   Since updates go into the tools quite regularly it's always a good idea to get the latest one when needed.
