This is what i did, would you check my steps:<BR /> In the .netrc, I "put .done" in the remote directory, and then "get .done" after BigFILE is transferred, and in my script I check for .done.<BR />But it kept saying it can't recognize the "site file=transfer.jcl" line. It doesn't do this before.<BR /><BR />Sleep would work, but this script needs to work for different files. So, when the size of my BigFILE changes, then I have to wait for a long time in case the BigFILE is shorter, and it might not be Enough time when BigFILE is bigger.<BR /> Tue, 12 Nov 2002 16:51:05 GMT LeAnn 2002-11-12T16:51:05Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-hp-ux/ftp-status/m-p/2843304#M936607 Hello Ken,<BR />Thanks for replying quick.<BR />I still have some problem, thou.<BR />I tried to use the 0-byte .done way, but does that mean that I have to interfere with the .netrc file?
