On using FTP from the 3000 to a LAN-based server is easy really,
provided certain things are in place.

Most FTP servers use a directory structure with some type of Access
Control List.  Most FTP servers point to a directory that has Read
Only ACDs.  These are most likely anonymous FTP servers -- servers
that permit writing to a directory usually have a username and
password associated with them.

If you can get a username and password, that points to a directory
with Read and Write ACDs turned on, then the jobstream to do this
would be quite easy:

!JOB...
!FTP
open <hostname.domain or ip address>
<username>
<password>

This gets you logged on.  If the username points to a default
directory, where your files are to go, then skip the next part,
otherwise, the next line is:

cd /<directory>/...

which would be the fully qualified directory tree.  Also remember
that if it's a Unix machine, the case of the letters matters. (ie:
/DIRECTORY is not /directory, which is also not /Directory -- these
are three separate directories).

Now, put the files out there:

put /ACCOUNT/GROUP/FILE ./<serverfilename>

Repeat the above for each file

then finish with

quit
!EOJ

That's about it.  Good Luck...

Regards,
Joe
