This would normally work if the passwords were embedded in the jobs. Our
site uses SECURITY/3000 with passwordless jobs and does not recognize the
FTP logged on user as a valid user.  There ought to be a parameter in
SECURCON that would allow this process to stream a job.

Thanks for the info, I'll check with VESOFT.

The site command is used for just this purpose of issuing a command to the
remote system.
You also need to tell the client that you want to just send the command.
The command it quote
Her is an example of streaming a job
quote site stream mkmelfrm.job

I put this in my ftp script file.

Phil, to answer question (1) here is the FTP syntax to specify your HP file
characteristics:

ftp> get marsb11.txt XCTTRNS;rec=-190,,f,ascii;disc=100000

I'm curious if the site command is even an option from the NT. I don't see
it on NT4.0. I believe this is an HP-enhanced command that is available
between HP's.

Hope this helps.

Hi folks,

Leaving out the long story about why I'm not initiating this from the HP,
here's my situation.  I'm using a Perl script to FTP and pick up a file,
fondle it, and drop it off on the HP3000.  I have two small problems:
(1) How do I drop it off with a record size of 320?  It's knocking it to 80.
(and for the Perlnuts, is this not possible with the std Net::FTP?)
(2) Is there a way to configure FTP on the HP to allow the "SITE" command (I
believe that's what it's called) so I can kick off a job stream via FTP?

Thanks,
Phil Metzger
