For customers that we connect to using TCP/IP, we start an FTP session and use the RCMD function to create a member in the source file in the remote iSeries -- before actually issuing the transfer. The RCMD command fails for some iSeries, and works for others. Security expert Dan Riehl offers a few things to look for in this situation. >> CLICK here to view the complete expert Q&A: http://www.search400.com/ateQuestionNResponse/0,289625,sid3_cid501568_tax288767,00.html ______________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT FEATURES AND LINKS: =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- FREE BOOK EXCERPT | IBM eServer iSeries: Built for e-business Search400.com would like to offer our members the opportunity to download for free the first chapter of IBM eServer iSeries: Built for e-business written by Bob Cancilla and published by IBM Press.

And a lot of it comes from AOL. The company's promotional compact discs are more pervasive than Starbucks and J. Lo's engagement rumors. Two IT guys from the outskirts of San Francisco have decided enough is enough. They're working on a Boston Tea Party of sorts, asking people to send them their AOL CDs. When they get 1 million, they and their band of disc-dissing rebels plan to haul the CDs to AOL's Virginia headquarters, ring the doorbell and pronounce "You've got mail." They've got about 80,000 discs so far, and get this, AOL says it will help put them over the top if they come up short!
