List the server's directory with output to an AS400 flat file (DIROUTPUT).
Example:  dir serverdir/*.txt (disk

Then read the AS400 flat file (DIROUTPUT) and "get" the txt file(s) from the
directory.

Subject: FTP from RPG

I need to setup an FTP process that will connect to the FTP server & 
download the file, which will be an xml document, process the xml 
document, move the downloaded file to a folder on the FTP server to keep 
as a backup & then get the next file - rinse repeat.... 

I can see the files using Filezilla but I don't know how I would go about 
getting the filename & then processing it programmatically. 


Can anyone share how this can be done or point me to how to do this? 



Thanks
