RE: Easy way to move RPG code from one machine to another

So I take it then when you ftp from your pc to their i5 it is via VPN. 

I shouldn't have described my process in a run-on sentence for the original
post.  Here are the current steps I take.

1. Create save file on source iSeries.
2. SAVOBJ's to SAVF
3. Transfer to my PC from source iSeries and place in c:\temp (FTP)
4. Transfer from my PC to http://mowyourlawn.com/somedirectory (FTP)
5. Get on client's PC via GoToMeeting.com
6. Transfer from http://mowyourlawn.com/somedirectory to c:\temp on clients
PC (HTTP download)
7. Transfer from clients PC to destination iSeries
8. Restore SAVF objects

Now, I could cut out step 3 and just FTP the SAVF from source iSeries to
http://mowyourlawn.com/somedirectory and then from destination iSeries FTP
to mowyourlawn.com - suppose then I would have to set them up with an FTP
account and default them to their own directory as I wouldn't want them to
have access to anybody elses code.  The thing I would have to do is figure
out how to change IIS (yes I am embarassed I host my site on IIS - long
story) to allow .savf downloads as it currently won't let them through.

If either of the machines could see each other it would obviously make this
whole process easier, but not everybody allows inbound traffic to their
iSeries via FTP, but on the other side nearly EVERY iSeries allows outbound
FTP.

Hope that clarifies a little better what my challenges are.

Why download it to your PC?  FTP directly to the client. 

That's assuming they have a hole in their firewall punched to their 
iSeries
FTP server.  If I can provide the remote FTP location (which I have many)
then that is something I don't need to rely on them for.

idea is pretty cool.

Easy way to move RPG code from one machine to another






So I find myself needing to move RPG code from my machine to other 
client's
machines quite often.  To date I load up a save file, FTP to my PC, FTP to
my server on the internet, download it from the internet onto the clients
PC, FTP upload it to the clients iSeries, restore the save file - done
finally.  Whew that is a lot of steps...
 
Is there a tool out there that can make this easier for machines not on 
the
same LAN?
 
Thanks,
