Re: FTP AS/400 to PC -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks everyone for your suggestion.
Everyone was right, I did not have any FTP "server", only client. (Thanks to 
IBM,
there is an FTP server on the AS/400).
I did get a copy of IPSwitch WS-FTP. I installed it immediately. I think I still
need to "configure" it because I cannot yet FTP to the (static IP) Netfinity-NT
server (from a regular PC nor from the AS/400).
I will setup a job to automaticaly FTP to the NT server.
