I need to ftp to another server (ftp-in.usps.gov) daily from a clp pgm.
I'm told the ip address may change often and i must access by name.
>From my pc within lan I can get to the site.
>From the iSeries (same lan) using command line I cannot get to the site. 
If I enter a host table entry, i would be hardcoding the current ip address, 
which 
may change often.  
What can I do?
