Hello,
Quote: Is it possible to do that ? Yes, it is possible. . . There are many ftp clients in existence - written in assembler, some flavor of C, and VB.
The question is not a mainframe issue at all, but rather the coder's knowledge of the ftp and visual basic.
You will probably find more info that could help you in a Windows developer's forum. |

Hello,
To clarify a bit. . .
You would not connect to the "mainframe" from your code.
You would connect to an ftp service that happened to be running on a mainframe. Done correctly, the code would connect to ftp on a mainframe or a unix system or a win-based system. |
