One solutions, albeit one that is not well documented, is to use a netrc
file. A netrc file associates a host name with a user name and password by
containing the following:
machine OURHP3000 login FTPID.FTPACCT password SECRET1
machine OURMAINFRAME login ABC1234 password A9B8C7D6

On the 3000, this file either needs to be in the home group of the ftp
client user, or have a file equation of the form
NETRC.<homegroup>=FILE.GROUP.ACCOUNT. This can be kept in another account,
so long as there is an ACD for the ftp user, allowing Read and Lock, with
corresponding account and group permissions.

When you specify the host name to ftp, either on the command line or inside
a command file, the ftp client will attempt to find that host name in the
netrc file, and if found, will use that user name and password.

Subject: Creating jobstream with FTP


Hello all,

I need help! I have a job that creates a file on the hp system. After the
file is created I want it to download this file into our FTP server. Here is
my question. How would I modify my jobstream to pass a login name and
password to
the server? Here is a little snippet of my jobstream.

O=LP
REPORT
(70/93) Continue?
NOPAGE
D1,LOAN-FILE.ACCOUNT,8
D1,LOAN-FILE.SUFFIX,11
D1,"L",15
E1,"ZZZZZZZZZ9-"
END
EXIT
!FTP
open myftp.domain.nam
username
password
purge /FTP/oldifle

It takes my open command but does not like my login and password lines. I
get an "Invalid command" message.


Thanx in advance!
