What version of the operating system are you running. One thing to think about is just before the FTP, change the code of the file. Just so it looks like a flat file. Thanks!!

I have tried using the normal FTP protocol and I keep getting a message that only standard MPE/iX files are permitted. Am I missing something or is there some other way to send those files over to the NT server? Thanks -- Steve Hampton Information Systems Belleville News-Democrat Belleville, IL (618) 239-2635
