CL command for FTP download.

[pantherv]

Greetings all. We have several routines to build files that are then downloaded to shared drives using FTP. Want to build the download commands into CL. Not exactly a CL specialist yet - can anyone point me in the right direction or to another thread already on this site. All help appreciated.

Something like

OVRDBF FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(&INPLIB/QFTPSRC) MBR(&INPMBR)
OVRDBF FILE(OUTPUT) TOFILE(&OUTLIB/QFTPSRC) MBR(&OUTMBR)
FTP RMTSYS(&TARGET)

with the following in a source member

support humbug1
lcd pgmpj01
cd pgmpj01
bin
put transfer
quit

logs on to the target system, changes the local and remote directories (libraries) and copies a save file across to the target machine. This code is part of a Command/CL-pgm which lets you pass the target and source member names then it does all of the rest, hence the variables in the OVRDBF stuff.
