RE: Several questions



Sender: Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

I agree. The person in charge requested FTP and FTP more or less is an
easy solution.

Okay, if FTP is what they want, then go for it.


If I could quickly figure out how to get the server to call an RPG
program I would do that in heartbeat. My problem is I don't know what is
necessary to do that. I downloaded the HTTPAPI roughly a month ago to
see what I could learn and hopefully someday use. I got as far as
running the test programs, but I kept getting the host unknown error
message.

"Host unknown" would mean that it can't look up a host name using DNS.


Coincidentally I can't PING anything outside of our local network. My assumption is that something isn't configured correctly on our 400, or our Firewall is preventing me from reaching the outside world.

Sounds like it. But, if that's the case, why does FTP work?


On top of that I'm still relatively new at this company (2 months) and I didn't want to start asking questions as to why I couldn't reach certain websites from our 400.
