RE: Flaky FTP

["Shannon O'Donnell" <sodonnell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an idea you might like for your FTP needs.  The iSeries PC-Engine will 
let your users initiate an FTP session from within their RPG program.  They can 
actually start the FTP session on their PC fron within their AS/400 
application. Allows for greater flexibility, I think.

You can download a free trial version to see if it'll work for you.

    Subject: [PCTECH] Flaky FTP
    
    Here's my situation...I have a process that FTPs a file from a Windows
    XP client to an AS/400 (V5R1) every 15 minutes. Runs like a
    champ...does everything I want...except it's started getting flaky.
    Every 10 or so transfers, it doesn't move the data. Here's the script
    that runs on the XP client:
    
    user
    pass
    quote rcmd addlible mylib
    quote rcmd call parsetimex 
    append c:\ta\punch.log hravfa/hptimein 
    quote rcmd call parsetimec 
    quit 
    
    I've been running comm traces on the AS/400 and Ethereal on the XP
    client. When it fails, I don't see the append command; when it works, I
    do. It's almost like it doesn't recognize the append command when it
    fails. I'm baffled...any ideas? Or better ways of doing something like
    this?
    
    TIA...
