RE: callFTP?
Mark, We are running on Windows and use ftp primarily for transferring files and records between branch or laptop systems and main office systems. We transfer type 18 files and records from type 19 files. Because we never truly loose the data, it is always still on the sending system, we don't get real crazy about checking the transfer. However, here is what we do. For type 18 files, we transfer them to a hold account and then do a count on the file and capture the output. This gives us two things. First, we can verify the number of records. Secondly, we have found if the transfer fails and the file is corrupted the COUNT command will not work. If the files are corrupted we display an error message, if not, we copy them over to the live files. For type 19 files we "put" a flag record from the receiving system to the sending system, transfer the records, and then "get" the flag record. This tells us the ftp transfer did not bomb out in the middle. It obviously does not check data integrity, but as I said we can always pull the data again. If we cannot "get" the flag record we display an error message. We have found, short of network interruptions, we have very little problem with the ftp transfers and have had no instances of data corruption unless there has been a premature network disconnect. We have been running the transfers for about 5 years. HTH, Mike Dallaire Mortgage Builder Software Inc.

callHTTP - result
A week or so ago I posted a question concerning a problem encountered when using callHTTP. It appeared not to be sending CRLF's through to the targeted URL. Through some diligent work by IBM and working with the vendor on the other end it was determined that callHTTP did in fact send the CRLF's to them. The vendor, however, was on Unix and it only saw them as char 10's. Thus, when we received the "echo back" file from them it appeared there was a problem. Thanks to IBM for the help and to everyone else who responded with helpful thoughts and ideas. We are back on track and moving forward. Mike Dallaire Mortgage Builder Software Inc.

RE: Users can't login to UV after upgrade from NT4 to 2003 SBS
Joe, We have seen similar problems in the past when NT user setups were copied over. We had to re-enter the users on Windows to get them to work. You might try setting up a new user in the user group and see if you can log in. If that works, you probably will need to set up the users from scratch.

It seems to accept username/password but then telnet session terminates immediately afterward. Only two users can log in. Both of these users where members of the administrators group.

I don't really have any good ideas on that one. We have many customers running on Win 2k3 and have never seen this. There may be a service in Windows you need to stop or start.
