Vic, Yes, you can do it that way. Most of the systems I work on don't have that available, so it's not something that immediate comes to mind for me. I probably should have been more clear that I was suggesting not trying to get WS_FTP to work to do the upload, rather than advocating pull versus push. I love WS_FTP myself, but there are a number of things I don't use it for.

The syntax should be the same as the LOCSITE commands documented in the Redbook Mark refers to. Doing it this way, your FTP logon would be the ID and password of the guest you wish to send the files to. By default, files you transfer to VM would be filemode A. I mention this because I've used it in the past to transfer files to an MVS system, where running the client on MVS was not an option (because running the server on another platform -- Windows -- was not an option). Ralph might be in a similar situation. MVS FTP server supported the SITE command, and as we all know there's nothing good that MVS can do that VM can't ;-) Cheers, Vic
