Great!  What was the problem, so that we can use this info to help the 
next person?

How do you know what to expect from the web service?  Is it possible 
that the web service always outputs HTML, and that's the expected result?

Or perhaps there's an input parameter you can pass to get it returned 
the way you want?

Please understand:  A web service is a program. You are calling a 
program.  Quite literally, you are calling a program -- just like an 
RPG, CL, Cobol, whatever program.  (Heck, it might even be one of 
those.)  Programs can take any type of data as input parameters, and can 
output any type of data as a result.

Unless you post the documentation for the web service, or unless someone 
on this mailing list happens to be familiar with the specific web 
service you're calling (unlikely -- especially since you haven't even 
told us what it is), we're simply not going to be able to help you.

Helping you to get file transfer software working is one thing.  Telling 
you what data to transfer is quite another.
