What version of the operating system are you running.  One thing to think
about is just before the FTP, change the code of the file.  Just so it looks
like a flat file.

Thanks!!

        Subject:        FTP'ing spool files

                I have an application where I need to take saved report
listings from
        the HP3000 (as FCOPY'ed spool file to a permanent directory),
        programmatically copy them to an NT server, archive them and make
them
        available to the PC users. I have tried using the normal FTP
protocol
        and I keep getting a message that only standard MPE/iX files are
        permitted.
                Am I missing something or is there some other way to send
those files
        over to the NT server? Thanks
