Re: File transfer from AS400 to PC

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

However you want to do it.  Keep in mind, however, that in almost all cases
an FTP server will store received files onto it's local hard drive.  That is
how most are set up.  It is quite possible, however, to set the FTP root 
directory
to any directory your FTP server can "see" such as a network drive, another 
computer's
HD, etc.. but it's still one location and not many.

If you were to install the FTP server on your NT Server, then the files would
reside on your NT Servers hard drive.  Then your PC would have to go to the NT 
server
and get the files through windows networking, or whatever.

If you prefer, you could run an FTP server on your PC and store them directly.

It makes more sense from a system architectural point of view, however, to have 
just
the one FTP server on your NT Server and have other computers FTP to and from 
there.
Then when you get some other application that needs to FTP to another PC you 
wouldn't
have to install yet another FTP server application.  Just use the one that is 
already
set up on the NT Server.

So, my suggestion would be to set up the FTP server on your NT Server, FTP the 
file 
to the NT Server, then have your PC read the file from the FTP directory.
