Hi Mike, Good point. Hadn't thought about that. We have a PNET Pnode defined to the State. I'll have to call what contact(s) I have at the State, and see what they say. That would simply the process, remove the need for the SFTP Server, ... Thanks, Dave Dave Stuart Prin. Info.

If they already have TCP and a network connection, they may already have whatever you need to push PNET over TCP.

Ever tried to get a State agency to install some software at *your* request? Now, me having to install software to support new stuff on their end is an entirely different matter...

What about NJE over TCP/IP as a replacement to the SNA line?

The proposed solution is to 'drop' the reports on a Secure FTP Server, and send an email when the reports are there. Sounds like manual intervention, to me. So if I can automagically read/process the email, and programmatically kick off the job to go retrieve it... > > > Thanks, > Dave > > P.S. How come, the more advanced the 'web' technologies become, the more it appears manual intervention is required? Why not FTP directly to my VSE System?
