Connie,
Please note that there has to be an FTP Server with access to
the 3 Novell servers for this to work. You can't just FTP to anywhere.
If you don't have an FTP server running on your network with mapped
drives to the needed locations of the 3 Novell servers you might want to
reverse the logic a bit.
Right now you say there is a process that runs on the HP3000 and
it generates a file. This file is then uploaded, via Reflection, and
emailed to somebody that places it in the correct spots. This is a
stilted process, meaning it is not automated and possibly has "stop and
start" points (unless the person is sitting there waiting on the email
and jumps on it right away). To reverse the logic a little bit you
could have the process generate the file on the HP3000 and just leave it
there. Then created a scheduled 'batch' process from the network that
uses the standard FTP client that comes with WindowsXX to get the file
from the HP3000 and place it on your 3 Novell servers.
Thanx,
Jon Backus

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 ... 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,
