Complex example: Batch FTP

The following example shows how to retrieve files from several remote hosts to a central iSeries™ in batch mode.

User GWIL on iSeries SYSNAM03 wants to do the following steps:

1. Retrieve files from hosts SYSNAMRS (RS/6000^®) and MVAX (VAX).
2. After retrieving the file from SYSNAMRS, the file should be transferred to SYSNAM02 (another iSeries) using FTP.
3. From there the file is to be sent using TCP/IP to iSeries SYSNAM14.

• Example: Create a CL program to start FTP
  
• Example: Create the FTP input file (FTCPDMS)
  
• Example: CL program for submitting the FTPBATCH job
