RE: OT - FTP Exit Programs

Dear Brian,

This is strictly my .02, as I'm not doing what you want to do. I think if
you turn on journalling for the part of the IFS concerned, and run a
never-ending sweep pgm, you might be able to detect <access> to the file
concerned.

But how would you ever know they had successfully completed FTP, unless you
force them to send some signal confirming it? I think it would be much more
common practice to give your clients access to their own sand-box IFS
sub-directory, and let them do their own deleting. We FTP from tons of
sites, and all let us flush our own stuff (though I admit some needed
reassurance and arm-twisting).

Peter

Subject: OT - FTP Exit Programs

Hello All.  This is off topic from FTPAPI but I am hoping some experienced
i5 FTP people may be able to assist me.

We have a situation where a few people connect to our machine to pull files.
What I'd like to be able to do is detect when a file is successfully pulled
and rename or delete the file on our side to eliminate the need for the
client to follow up the 'get' with a 'del'.  In looking for i5 FTP exit
program info, I've only found the following info:

QIBM_QTMF_SVR_LOGON (FTP Server Logon)
QIBM_QTMF_CLIENT_REQ (FTP Client Request Validation) QIBM_QTMF_SERVER_REQ
(FTP Server Request Validation)

It does not seem that any of these gives me the ability to detect a
successful get of a file.

Is anyone out there doing this on the i5 and if so, how?

Thanks in advance.
