Vijesh,

You may create a job and schedule it with following commands,

!SETVAR INFIL RHT("!HPYYYY",4) + RHT("0!HPMONTH",2) + &
!         RHT("0!HPDATE",2)+".txt"
!ECHO o xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  > FTP1
!ECHO u username >> FTP1
!ECHO password >> FTP1
!ECHO ascii >> FTP1
!ECHO cd directory-name-on-ftp-server >> FTP1
!ECHO get !INFIL HPFILE.HPGROUP;rec=-250,,f,ascii;disc=5000 >> ftp1
!ECHO quit >> FTP1
!RUN ftp.ARPA.SYS;STDIN=FTP1
!IF FTPLASTERR <> 0
!   TELLOP   !!! ERRROR !!! FTP failed for XYZ  job !!! 
!ENDIF

Greetings!

Looking for help from all the GURUs out there!

A client of ours would FTP a txt file to my server (running winnt 4.0), this is a daily process and the txt file will be named "DDMMYY.txt"(where ddmmyy will be day,month and year). I have to transfer the daily file from the NT server to a HP3000 host with a fixed file name, lets say "xx12".

Need help on how to automate this process of FTP to HP3K, since the source file name is variable and assuming there could be multiple files in the source directory on the NT server. I am required to pick only the current days file (ddmmyy.txt), ignore other files and FTP it to HP3K.
