I have WMB 6.1 FP3.
I want to have a message flow that ends with FileOutput and FTPs the file to a AS/400 and appends the data to a file.
The standard FTP script that this flow is intended to replace uses the FTP subcommand APPEND.
I can't see an equivalent option in the FileOutput node. Can anyone confirm that it is not possible to append data? |

Not really. See here for a recent, possibly useful, discussion.

Curses.
It would be handy if the FileOutput node FTP properties allowed additional subcommands to be specified or operated in IBM or "user" mode.
The user mode would allow the FTP subcommands to be supplied in the properties (with substitution possible of filenames etc).
Looks like I am going to have to create these files locally and then have a cron based script to re-process them afterwards, not exactly what I had hoped for. |

If you feel strongly enough about it, raise an enhancement request with IBM  |

| I may well do so, but the project I need it for can't wait for the enhancement which would take some months at best to be released. |

Hi zpat,
You could look at the FileExtender nodes, but it's quite expensive...your requirements should be able to justify the price 
Else build your own custom node...it works.
Regards. |

| Or use trace nodes with trace file option if it suits your scenario.. |

MBExpert,
Using the Tracenode is not a good idea.
