I've used pcAnywhere on the desktop for several versions, but I've always done file transfers manually and am only beginning to play around with automating it. I'm speculating here, but it looks like if you set up an Auto Transfer File in your connection properties and mark it to 'run upon connection', then run your connection with Ed's API_AppRun like we just talked about, that should do it.

I'm using pcAnywhere version 10.5, BTW. pcAnywhere version 11.0 has a new feature called Command Queue that looks like it is designed to facilitate sending files, among other things, so that appears to be another alternative if you have or are considering version 11.0.

There is also OLE automation - Tracy Holzer posted a solution to this a while ago in thread #578881 message #626693 that looks real promising too.
