Hi all, I need to get the EOF of a file on a remote box, so I can decide what action to take on the local box, but can't seem to figure it out...any help would be great. REMOTE IF FINFO("ZAP","EOF") > 7000 ends up giving me the true condition, but the true condition is on the remote box, and I need it to be on the local box. I've tried all sorts of variations on this theme, and I recall being able to do something to this effect several years ago, but....
