Does anyone know of an available API for FTAM clients (invokers)? The ISODE 6.1 includes the libftam library, but I find it very hard to understand and use. I have also looked at the FTAM client application that comes with ISODE6.1 and tried to extract a useful API from that code, but found that it is not straightforward at all. What I have in mind is a simple API (with limited functionality) that will enable application programmers to utilize FTAM functionality from their applications. I believe it should include functions like: ftam_associate (machine, user, password) ftam_cd (directory) ftam_dir () ftam_rm (filename) ftam_open (filename) ftam_read (filename, buffer) ftam_release (assoc_descriptor) Hopefully somewhere out there something like this is available. Thanks for any information. Asgeir.
