I have set up an input TDQ and can ftp a server file into TDQ and then start a tranid to process the que and return a message to the web page. The problem is that now I have a request to FTP data FROM cics to the network. I need some advice and understanding on this. Any Help ??

Am I looking at using sockets programming to do this?

Sorry, but this doesn't help much. From what I've read the perspective is on retrieving data from a network into cics. I'm not sure I'm understanding how to get it out of cics into the network when the data length exceeds 32700 bytes which is the max for storing data thru http for a web page and is also the max for commarea usage.

Here's what I've discovered.
this manual has provided me with a better understanding of what I need to than the one suggested: CICS/ESA and TCP/IP for MVS Sockets Interface

The answer is without going to something like MQseries, I do want to use sockets and not do cics web services just for the reason that I stated. The hard part that I now have is figuring out how to write the client side .Net program to initiate the cics server.
