This is probably FAQ material, so aplogies in advance.

I am trying to automate a routine FTP operation using the 
OS/2 REXX FTP API (as usual without the manuals).

I have issued all the API calls in a sensible order (according to
the online manual) ;

 FtpLoadFuncs()

 FtpSetUser()

 FtpChDir()

 FtpPut()

 FtpLogoff()

This does not work (bombs at the FtpChdir()), and I can see no evidence 
of any FTP call being placed.

Am I missing something obvious ? Should there be an FtpOpen() call ?

TIA

Bob

Bob, 

Check your parameters in the function call once more. You have a correct
sequence of functions. Here is an extract from my working program:

call RxFuncAdd "FtpLoadFuncs","RXFTP","FtpLoadFuncs"
r1 = FtpLoadFuncs()
userid = 'anonymous'
passwd = 'anonymous'
host = '123.123.123.123'  /* or use a name */
transfertype = 'Ascii'
rc = ftpsetuser(host,userid,passwd,acct)
rc = ftpPut(pyyfile,pyyremo,transfertype)
rc = ftplogoff()

 This should be ok ...
