assistant: Adolfo Justiniano wrote in a message to All:
OS2 FTP will do scripts and autostart them. Check the documentation (very
sparse) but as it's a port of an older UNIX FTP the scripting should be
similar. Also look at NcFTP which even better script capability and much
better docs and is a freeware port of a better Unix based FTP tool. Lastly,
depending on what you are trying to automate, FiFTP will probable prove your
best bet. It was designed from the ground up to be a tool to pull an FTPBone
feed from George Peace (before John was even offering the same service). It
now can do a bit more and is very stable and quick.
On my Merlin system a search for FTP from my help library of all libraries
showed several hundred hits. Get NcFTP, it does scripting and FTP in general
sooooo much better.
Any idea why Sendmail won't do the job for you? It is included with Warp
Connect and Warp 4. It should also even be part of the IAK as Ultimail needs
it to be able to move replies back to the net.
Sendmail -af {filename} -f {fromname@domain} {toname@domain}

        You might want to give NFTP a try.  It is a character mode
    program that works very well.  It is shareware.  The shareware
    version limits you to a maximum downloadable file size of

      I would suggest you try MR/2 ICE.  Mail Reader/2 Internet Cruise
    Edition.  It is currently at version 1.26.  The author, Nick Knight
    runs an email list for support, is available and responsive.  Right
    now he is busy with his beta team working on adding a newsreader
    reader module to the email part of the program.  If you were ever
    involved with  BBS's and FIDO mail packettes, his program MR/2, version
    2.26 might interest you also.
      You want to get file "mr2i126.zip".  File "mr2i126u.zip is the
    upgrade for those who already have MR/2 ICE.  It is a much smaller
    file.

      ftp-io.org is probably another source.  I am sure that Hobbes and

I downloaded NFTP 1.00 but I'm sorry to say that I didn't find a way to

I think that the Sendmail program that comes included with Warp 4 will
do the job. Thanks.

looked already.

Regardless of whether you use JAVA or ActiveX, you are running someone else's
code on your machine, which is inherently risky.
Having said that, there are a list of things JAVA programs aren't supposed to
be able to do, like write to hard disk, or use memory outside of an allocated
block. ActiveX has none of those limitations. So, if a JAVA program messes
you up, then the Runtime on your end (either Netscape's or OS/2's native
runtime) has fouled up in letting that happen. In the case of an ActiveX
program, there weren't any defenses in the first place.
Which would YOU rather be running, given that eventually you're going to want
to use one or the other for the other benefits?

If this were an Internet newsgroup, then his warning would be quite

about mail from Microsoft mail (and possibly Microsoft Exchange) that
could carry a nasty payload as well.  Since the channel through which
that warning came was an official channel, I consider it to be a valid
warning.
This is just another reason I like FIDO echomail better than Internet
