FTP through Progress Code

[2much2learn]

I am trying to FTP a file using Progress code to a Windows server. I am running Progress on a Linux server. If the answer is to use shell scripting, how do I call that from Progress? I am obviously very new at Progress programming.

2much2learn,
take a look at the 'os-command' or 'unix' statement. then you will just need to put the actual commands in.
for example:

os-command silent value("lp -dfx2180 -onb -s -p7 /caras/CASSEQ_ERR.RCC").

will print CASSEQ_ERR.RCC on the fx2180 printer
or

os-command silent value("cp /caras/CASSEQ_DTL.RCC1 /caras/CASSEQ_DTL.RCC").

will copy CASSEQ_DTL.RCC1 file on an HPUX system.

2much2learn,
just thought of something. in you can shell script it then you can just use the 'os-command' statement to call your script rather than putting all of the individual commands in your progress program preceded by the 'os-command' statement. probably easier this way.
