Re: How to FTP IFS files to another system

[Vern Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello

FTP is not very smart, it can use wildcards in the names, a little, but 
not based on dates. If you use FTP, I suggest you get the subset into 
yet another directory - it might be possible with a single QShell 
function combining find and piping to a copy function. Then FTP from 
this other directory to the SAP server.

Does you SAP server have an NFS server on it? Then you could mount that 
in the IFS and simply copy files over there.
