I was going to mention 'wget' and 'curl'. One of those floating
around is mine. Would love to have additions to it, like Matt Avery's
FTP logic.
The point of this pair is to work exactly like (a subset of) the
Unix/Linux equivalent commands. And ... of course ... feed a
pipeline.
The latest incarnation punts to WEBROVER, except for straight HTTP
work. (Not knowing how much FTP and HTTPS support may already be in
WEBROVER.) So with 'curl' or 'wget' the syntax is something like ...
curl ftp://your.host.com/the/path/fn.ft | your stages
-or-
wget -O - ftp://your.host.com/the/path/fn.ft | your stages
This way, the command is the same whether you're on CMS or Unix or
Linux ... or Windows ... or Mac. I think there's even a 'wget' for
MVS.
