Hi Jerry,
If the site is FTP using MVS-RACF security, you have to use the DOS FTP command and script it because RACF is not compliant with FTP security protocols.
If that's what Bill needs, I have some sample scripts.
>Open up a DOS box and type "ftp -help"
>Then type "ftp" to run the ftp app.
>From the ftp prompt type "help" (without the quotes) to see the list of commands.
>Type "help
" to see help on a specific command.
>To leave ftp type "bye"
>
>Or, you can download and install a windows version..

>JLK
