There are two ways to handle this in FTP from the 3000-
1) Use the MPUT/MGET command with wildcards
2) Use the MPUT/MGET command with indirect file

For example, the files are named NEW01 through NEW35. Using ftp you would do
a

ftp>MPUT NEW*



or if each file name is different

ftp> MPUT ^file

where ^file contains the list of file names to move over. You can easily
create this file by LISTF >filename if the files are different each time.


ftp>help mput

Expand wild-cards in the list of local files given as arguments and
do a put for each file in the resulting list.  Instead of using wild-
cards, you may provide an indirect file by preceding that file's
name with the caret symbol (^).  Optionally, build parameters can be
specified if the remote is an MPE/XL system.  The build parameters
will affect each file in the transfer.  In effect, ";build-parms" is
appended to each file name.  Non-MPE/XL FTP Servers will not interpret
the build parameters as intended.  Use the CASE command to force the
resulting file names to contain all lower case letters.

**NOTE** Of course this requires a FTP listener on the pc. We use one but
the name escapes me right now.
