Hello Frank, I use both. FTPCAT for a DMZ type catalog, and Define files for some specific files.

We use it extensively. But Don Stoever of CSI indicated that this is not the "preferred" way of using TCP/IP for VSE as an FTP server. Rather, each file should be defined individually using DEFINE FILE. We have hundreds of files in our "FTPCAT" catalog. I can't imagine having to define each one explicitly to FTPD! (Please correct me if I have mis-stated your point of view, Don!)
