FTP changes

[John McKee <jmmckee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am hoping somebody has knowledge of VMS.  Specifically, I have two jobs on
System i that utilize FTP to retrieve specific files from a VMS system.  I was
just informed that an upgrade is planned for that system.  The engineer doing
the upgrade is converting Multinet to HP TCPIP.  I was asked, innocently, if
that would be a problem.  Without knowing how the two differ, if they differ,
all I can do is be concerned.  Both jobs currently rely on the directory file
format returned by FTP to determine if a file should subsequently be retrieved
from that system.

This is like taking a car to a garage for an oil change and being told that the
transmission needs to be replaced.  At least, I was told BEFORE the upgrade was
performed.  I just have no information to work with at this point.  Thus my
email.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
