I didn't see the original post. We use a Windows product called "BeyondFTP" to do this sort of thing sometimes. It is quite advanced and can do uploads and downloads automatically using scripts. We also just use the z/OS ftp client to send to this same server because it is easier to have the creating job do the ftp of the report file than hoping to get the timing right from the Windows side. The plus of using this server is that it can be scripted so that when the file "shows up" on the server, it can be transferred to another server and the appropriate process started to actually process the data (usually putting the data into an SQL server table). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its' content is protected by law.
