Sure - the FTP client is readily available. A job listing would look
something like:

:
:FTP.ARPA.SYS
ftp>  open <ip address>
Name:  <logon name>
PASSWORD:  <logon password>
ftp>  cd  <destination directory>
ftp>  put <MPE source filename>  <Novell Destination filename>
ftp>  ... repeat logon and put for each server ...
ftp>  quit
:... Do error checking here ...

Use the FTPxxx variables and exitonerror settings to control what level
of error detection you want. To see the variables, run an FTP session,
then execute :SHOWVAR FTP@

The manual for this (on the HP docs CD or in the website) is
    36957-90159 HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol User's Guide.

It will give you the details for the commands, binary vs. ascii, and
other mode settings, etc. This all assumes there is an FTP server
running on the Novell machine.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [HP3000-L] ftp'ing a file with a job

We are currently creating a file daily that is transferred from the HP
e3000 to a PC with Reflection and then emailed to a staff member who
uploads the file to 3 Novell servers on the same network as the 3000.

I am wondering if it would be possible to FTP the file to these 3
locations within the job that creates it and eliminate the need of
'human
intervention' daily.  And if I can do it some suggestions on
implementing
it.

Thanks,
