Re: Scripting FTP in a CL program

You could use the QFileSvr.400 file system to copy the save file from the 
source to the target system, then  use RUNRMTCMD to restore the 
library/objects on the target system.

  But this has a drawback, in that unless the FTP server allows anonymous

  for a minimum of slightly longer than the life of the FTP session.

  Does anybody know of another way to script FTP? The idea here is to
  provide a way to automatically propagate a save file containing a
  product from one machine (or LPAR) to another, and automatically install
  the product on the target machine.

  V4-compatibility is not an issue here, but avoiding outside commercial
  products would be.
