It is very easy. Your FTP script reads a text file (i.e. script.txt) that looks like this:

open ftp.mysite.com User password cd as400lib lcd pcdir put file bye

Where user – User on the iSeries
Password – Password on the iSeries
As400lib – Name of AS/400 library
Pcdir – Name of PC directory
File – Name of file to send

Then you could execute it like this:

ftp -s:SCRIPT.TXT
