Re: AS400 start an app on the PC

[Larry Bolhuis <lbolhui@xxxxxxx>]

Jim,
  
 With an FTP server running on the PC this could be accomplished.  The
FTP server would allow for sending files, retrieving files, and most
will also allow for running PC commands with RCMD sub command.

 There are several available some even free (WAR FTP for example)
