Hi Bill,
We have a product called AutoMate that can be used to automate FTP and encryption operations as well as about 600 other Windows activities.
AutoMate can tie directly in to IBM i to pick up and drop off files.
Feel free to download a 30 day demo and reach out if you have any questions.

subject: Dynamic FTP script creation
Hello all,
Question for the group.....I'm looking at various methods for dynamic FTP script creation. I have an option where I just create a physical file with one long field and then put my FTP commands in there. We have another example where we put the commands in an array within an RPG program and then read the array to build the command file. Both of these require typing all of the commands somewhere, whether in a file or a program. Anyone out there have a whiz-bang, gee-whiz approach to this that is a lot slicker in how it sets up the commands? I know to an extent we always have to manually do some part of it to have file names, etc. be right. But I'm wondering if there's a better way to enter the "generic" commands
themselves? Hoping I'm making sense here. All input appreciated.
Thanks!
