Re: Running FTP in batch

["BARB TURNER" <TURNERB@xxxxxxxxxx>]

We override the database to a text source file with the member name that
contains the following:

OPEN '192.168.0.2'   
USER username password    
put lawmod/lfrick.lfrick  'dp001398.001' 

The CL contains the following:
/* CLEAR FTP MESSAGES OUTPUT FILE         */                         
                                                                     
             CLRPFM     FILE(FTPOUTPUT)                              
                                                                     
/* OVERRIDE THE INPUT (COMMANDS) AND OUTPUT (MESSAGES) FILES */      
                                                                     
             OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(CVLTUSRS/QTXTSRC) +       
                          MBR(&SCRIPT)                               
             OVRDBF     FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(FTPOUTPUT)               
                                                                     
/* TRANSFER THE FILE USING THE COMMANDS IN THE FTPSCRIPT MEMBER   */ 
                                                                     
             FTP        RMTSYS(&ADDRESS)                             
/*  PRINT THE REPORT OF RESULTS         */                     
                                                               
             OVRPRTF    FILE(QSYSPRT) PAGRTT(*COR) OUTQ(&OUTQ) 
                          HOLD(*YES) SECURE(*YES)              
             CALL       PGM(FTPLOG)                            
                                                               
/*  DELETE THE OVERIDES                 */                     
                                                               
             DLTOVR     FILE(INPUT)                            
             DLTOVR     FILE(OUTPUT)                           
 This lets us use the same CL for all our FTP's.  Just pass the address
and script file.

There is probably a better way to do it but it works great.

I don't have an example at hand but I believe that you precede the FTP
command with an OVRDBF command that overrides file INPUT to the name of
a
database file where you store the FTP commands to be executed. Contents
of
the database file I believe would be something like this:

userid password
put filename (or whatever it is you want to do)
quit

We are trying to run the FTP command in a batch program.  When
prompting the
FTP command, there are no parms for the username, password, etc for
the
remote computer.  Any ideas?

Thanks!
