We have been given responsibility for a plant 2 hours away. They want no on site IT people, so we must come up with a way move there daily backup save files to corporate. Our idea is to FTP the savf from there AS/400 to ours and use our tape system to store the data. Has any one tried this? Do you have an example of the FTP command you used?

I haven't done it, but it seems like a doable idea as long as the line <BR>
speed between the 2 sites is high enough.<BR>

The FTP command is simple enough, there are only 2 things that are <BR>
required. The SAVF must already be created on the receiving end and you <BR>
specify the BIN option. Here's a rough idea as to how you'd do it:<BR>
<P>
From a command line at the receiving end: FTP sendingsitename (or ip <BR>
address)<BR>
It will then ask for a user profile to sign on to the sending site.<BR>
Password.<BR>
BIN<BR>
LCD libraryname where the receiving save file exists.<BR>
CD libraryname where the sending save file exists.<BR>
GET filename<BR>
QUIT<BR>
