RE: Using FTPAPI to ftp to a printerfile

["Lammerts, Jack" <j.lammerts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

   Hi Magne,


   That was it!  Thank you very very much!


   I was using the from and to filenames in a wrong order, just switched
   them to remote and then local file, and it works fine!


   A definite case of a layer 8 probklem I guess, I was so focused on the
   fact that it might be a problem in Scott's procedures that I didn't
   see this very stupid error. Anyway, thanks for al your help guys!


   And oh, by the way, the PCL file which I am uploading to the
   printerfile _is_ a PDF file, converted via PASE and ghostscript form
   PDF to PCL, which all printers are capable of printing.


   Greetings, Jack

   Hi,


   for your info....this will also work with a pdf file....if your
   printer can recognize the pdf file printer stream.


   Try using remote file: local file:          not  local file: remote
   file


   if        ftp_put(sess: to: from) < 0


   This i how it looks like in the FTPAPI_H source mbr.


   D FTP_put         PR            10I 0
   D   peSocket                    10I 0 value
   D   peRemote                   256A   const
   D   peLocal                    256A   const options(*nopass)



   Best regards

   Magne

   Jack,
   I see where you are headed here. Cool idea. What are the relevant
   parameters
   on the print file? Simply userascii?
   CRTPRTF FILE(QGPL/FTPPRINT) DEVTYPE(*USERASCII)
