Warning: I haven't tried this exact scenario, but have similar ones. Since you appear to already have RSCS, you could use UFT on RSCS. (Unsolicited File Transfer). In theory, you don't need RSCS for UFT, it is already implemented in the NJE world. It's RFC1440 if that's helpful. I don't know of a Windows server client, but there's and old UNIX server here: http://casita.net/pub/uft/ /ahw > >Thanks. > >---------------------------------------------------------------------- >For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, >send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO >Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
