Hi Jeff,



If it is a text file you might try an ASCII transfer instead of BINARY, I see the same thing sometimes when I use binary on text files...



Thanks,

Gary

Subject: [HP3000-L] FTP question







I am attempting a direct FTP to a business partner from my HP3000 and am



losing the record length/line feed/carriage return in the file during



the FTP process.  Here is the scripting I am using:







!SETVAR SM2FILE ("SPT_" + '!HPyyyymmdd')







!echo EXITONERROR > FTPTEMP







!echo OPEN ipaddress >> FTPTEMP







!echo USER username password >> FTPTEMP







!ECHO BINARY >> FTPTEMP







!ECHO CD /directory1/directory2 >> FTPTEMP







!ECHO PROMPT >> FTPTEMP







!ECHO PUT !SMTFILE.MANOUT !SM2FILE.MAN>> FTPTEMP







!ECHO QUIT >> FTPTEMP







!run ftp.arpa.sys < FTPTEMP















Odd thing is that when we go from the HP to an internal Windows server



and then Windows server to business partner, we have no problem with the



record format.















Any ideas?
