Re: Automated upload - how to initiate.

One traditional way is to ftp two files. One is that file and another is
another file and your ftp exit point then processes the first file. Why
two files? Because the exit point is designed more for permissions than
this and therefore might try to process the file before it is finished
arriving. IOW, it gets called to see if the PUT is allowed, not after the
PUT is completed.

Another way is to ftp the file and use QUOTE RCMD to submit a command to
process it.

Another way is to use a journal entry process that says the file has
arrived, let's process it.

Another way is to use the exit points originally designed for virus
checking to say a stream file has arrived, let's process it.
