RE: Free FTP CL Command

[J.Beckeringh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Bob,

There is an API to retrieve an encrypted password. Apparently this is 
meant to be used in conjunction with another API to set a password of a 
user profile, not to validate a login.

Have you considered using a DDM file? If you have an SNA connection, it is 
easy enough to create a temporary DDM file (QTEMP) and copy to that file. 
It seems that does under the covers exactly what you are trying to 
achieve.
