Submit jobs through FTP
To Submit a job on Mainframe, the script file (on Unix) should be like:
==========================================================================
user MyUserID MyPassword
quote site filetype=jes
get 'ABC.DEF.GHI.JKL(MNO)'
bye
==========================================
And run it on Unix like:
ftp -n -i FTPServerName < FTPScriptFile

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Run FTP scripts in batch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FTP Server was on a Mainframe - not sure whether that makes difference.
Had to write two kind of jobs - one to get/put files on Windows, and second on Unix - here's what I had to write:



Unix, AIX+ksh:
=======================
To run it in the batch:
ftp -n -i FTPServerName < FTPScriptFile

The file is like: FTPScriptFile
===================================================
user MyUserID MyPassWord
quote site...anything you want - lrecl if you want to exchanage a seq file, jes if you want to submit a job
put LocalFileName RemoteFilename
bye
=================================





Windows: (Win2k)
=======================
To run it in the batch:
ftp -n -s:FTPScriptFile MyHostName

The file is like: FTPScriptFile
===================================================
USER MyUserID
MyPassWord
prompt n
quote site lrecl=999999999
put LocalFileName RemoteFilename
bye
=================================

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
