Your PIPEDDR syntax would be: pipeddr dump * 195 (ftp -h xxxxxx.sru.edu -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxxxx -f fran.ddr
I forgot to put ftp examples in the help when I sent it. They are in there for the next update. A restore could be: pipeddr restore * 195 (ftp(-h xxxxxx.sru.edu -u xxxxxx -p xxxxxxxxxxx -f fran.ddr) noprompt The problem you had with ftpget is because you didn't specify the record format to write it out - either -fixed nnnn or -var xxx (see the DRPC HELP file for the file formats for variable.)
