I use MPEX and put the "RUN FTP" into a WHILE loop, checking the CIERROR and FTPLASTERR. It pauses 30 seconds if there are errors and keeps looping indefinitely. Once it gets a zero, then it continues. After the GET, I also check CIERROR and FTPLASTERR and if either is non-zero, then I issue a TELLOP and exit out of the job.

From HP to Windows, FTP would be best. The error checking really is not that bad. How are your jobs error checking now?
You could consider using Attachmate/Reflections to pull files from the HP to the Windows server.

Subject: HP3000 file transfer to/from Windows server
All,
What solutions are there to reliably transfer files between a Windows server and the HP3000 on an automated basis? We have an HP3000/N4000-100-33 system.
I have used FTP on the HP3000 to send/receive files from a Windows system, but it requires a lot of error checking and "retry" logic.
I see that there is something called Samba and also Network File Transfer from Minisoft but I haven't investigated either of those yet.
I would ideally like to use MPE commands in jobs to do the file transfer, rather than writing custom programs.
Thanks,
Jim.
