Re: FTP to QNTC

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When I saw "Between LPARS with QNTC" my finger involuntarily quivered 
over the 'DEL' key. :-)

Yes QFileSvr.400 is far superior to QNTC. Then even more better (unlike 
my english) is NFS.

QNTC works most of the time yes but performs worst of the three options 
and has the most issues with communications in my experience.

Also brings to mind the customer that was FTPing a file to a QNTC share 
but oddly the target file already existed. So they deleted it and then 
the source file was gone. You guessed it, it was the same file!
