Alliance FTP
Manager has been enhanced to provide automated file
transfer with an AICXFER FTP server. Customers who
have been receiving magnetic tape or PC transfers
can now fully automate the file transfers directly
from their IBM iSeries or AS/400 system.
The Alliance
SSL FTP client application fully supports the Clear
Command Channel (CCC) operation required by an
AICXFER FTP server. Connections are secured for the
protection of user ID, password, and data transfer.
The Alliance CCC support makes it possible to
communicate with an AICXFER FTP server through a
normal firewall configuration.
Alliance
provides for automated polling of an AICXFER FTP
server. New files are automatically detected and
pulled to the AS/400. Alliance maintains a
historical database of files that have been received
from an AICXFER FTP server, and only retrieves new
files. The Alliance customer can active automated
polling at system start-up and know that new files
will be retrieved as they are available.
Files
received from an AICXFER FTP server source can be
automatically processed into the AS/400 database
using Alliance interfaces. Alliance provides a way
to register your RPG or CL application to process a
file when it is received. Your application program
is called automatically and you can perform any
database or application processing that you wish.
For sending
files to an AICXFER FTP serverAlliance provides a
set of Application Program Interfaces (APIs) that
are easy to integrate into your AS/400 applications.
Sample code is provided in the Alliance product
library to help you get up and running quickly.
