Mark: My thoughts on this subject are usually the same...keep it simple. There has to be some pretty serious conditions existing before I'd move ftp services off the server and onto any client, and just because it can is not one of them. :-)
Every O/S we use has an ftp client as part of it (Windows & ..nix). Networking is a difficult business where all kinds of things go wrong. Moving a service like ftp off the UniVerse server is just asking for an additional layer of problems. I'm late to ftp processing but I'm sure most on this list do ftp processing and it would be wise to follow advice given in this thread...ftp from the UV server. The script I posted works well and includes sftp processing. I'd be happy to post more but I'm sure everyone already does this kind of thing.

Accuterm has beaucoups of PC facilities just waiting to run. They are typically preceed by the ESC:STX (27 : 2). The > command means that the Pick session will wait until the DOS session is complete. PRINT ESC:STX:"> SOL.EXE" The < command means that the Pick session will continue while the DOS session remains open. PRINT ESC:STX:"< SOL.EXE" I don't know specifically, But I have had timing concerns with issuing commands to DOS and then expecting to use those results back in Pick. If I write a textfile to a shared file and then execute notepad to play with it, Pick has to wait until notepad is finished. The ESC:STX command may finish promptly but re-reading the shared file textfile may result in beating notepad to the punch and you get the same record. Putting a SLEEP or READ within a LOOP to compare the before and after may be the trick.
