We have been using FTP ( Scott Klements utility ) to transfer files to our IBM i for many years and it has worked like a charm.
But now the server where the files are stored has been moved to another country and we are experiencing problems. Massive problems.
The error we now receive is: "The semaphore timeout period has expired". But not every time -- till now !
I have added a routine that takes a pause of 2 seconds then retries to get the file again.
After a period ( minutes ) it suddenly can get the file.
But today it hangs several hours until we cancelled the job.
Nobody has an explanation why this happens.
So my question is what can I use to replace FTP to transfer files from a Windows server to my AS/400 server?
It must support running in batch and with a generic user that is not defined in the windows directory.
Thus QNTC is not an option.
The server is at V7R5M0
