Swapping files on two servers

[gamesman]

We have two applications that run on different rs6000 machines with AIX 4. Currently our systems send files back and forth by writing out to a tty device while the other machine listens on a corresponding tty. They're connected via SA boxes using ack-ack transmissions. Both machines are on our Windows network.

It seems to me that we should ne able to just send files from one machine to another via TCPIP, but I can't figure it out. The apps are constantly swapping HL7 updated files.

TIA for any sugestions.

hi,
I belive that these programs make specific calls to routines to speak through SerialPort: in this case, only modifying code, it can access to the partner comp using sockets or ftp or other.
