They are using that method currently and they can't set the time between checks to be less than 1 miinute so that won't work which is why I am looking for a way to launch the .bat or .exe to run after I have uploaded my files.

Maybe we could improve the batch file they use to resolve this 1 minute limmitation.

I have a client that we are transferring order files to a MS SQL Server from IBM iSeries using FTP<br />
Once the file transfers have completed, the client wants us to run a pgm that will process the uploaded files.<br />
I have been unable to make the QUOTE cmd in FTP run the remote cmd. I have been reluctant to look at using <br />
RUNRMTCMD since it opens up the Host system to incoming remote cmds. <br />
<br />
The clients' vendor has suggested running an HTTP cmd but not sure how to launch that via FTP or <br />
from within my CL pgm.<br />
<br />
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How to launch .exe pgm from within FTP to MS SQL server to proces uploaded files

File sharing is the practice of distributing or providing access to digital media, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books. Common methods of storage, transmission and dispersion include manual sharing utilizing removable media, centralized servers on computer networks, World Wide Web-based hyperlinked documents, distributed peer-to-peer networking (P2P) and cloud-based file syncing.

File Sharing Software

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
