We do this all the time. You must have the ftp service running on your Windows server box. A normal Windows desktop does not come with an ftp service. The ftp service, believe it or not, is part of IIS on Windows. Your Windows server should have a "hard coded" IP address. I don't recommend trying to ftp to a Windows desktop because the IP address may change. However, it could be possible with an "add on" ftp server and if you are using DDNS in Windows to register your desktop's name and you set the z/OS TCPIP resolver up to use the Windows DNS server to resolve names to IP addresses. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
