RE: ftp from 400 to 400

["Richard Casey" <casey_r@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

As others have already mentioned, you can create the data file on the target
system before doing your FTP. That will retain the file structure.

One thing to consider. Depending on the size of the file and the speed of
your communications link, it may be faster to go the save file route. The
DTACPR (Data compression) option on the SAVOBJ command can really shrink
down the size of what you would be sending. Of course, you have the overhead
(both in time and disk space) of the save and restore operations at each
end.

Hope this helps!
Richard

Subject: ftp from 400 to 400


I looked in the faq and through the archives, but didn't see an answer to
this.
I have the need to ftp a file from 1 400 to another.  this file is created
via a query process.
i know i can create a save file and ftp the save file over, but was just
wondering if there is a way to get it over without the save file.
i have tried several ways, but when it gets to the remote 400 it is no
longer in workable.  ie it becomes 1 field instead of multples.

thanks

mike.
