OS2 FTP will do scripts and autostart them. Check the documentation (very 
sparse) but as it's a port of an older UNIX FTP the scripting should be 
similar. Also look at NcFTP which even better script capability and much 
better docs and is a freeware port of a better Unix based FTP tool. Lastly, 
depending on what you are trying to automate, FiFTP will probable prove your 
best bet. It was designed from the ground up to be a tool to pull an FTPBone 
feed from George Peace (before John was even offering the same service). It 
now can do a bit more and is very stable and quick. 
On my Merlin system a search for FTP from my help library of all libraries 
showed several hundred hits. Get NcFTP, it does scripting and FTP in general 
sooooo much better.

Any idea why Sendmail won't do the job for you? It is included with Warp 
Connect and Warp 4. It should also even be part of the IAK as Ultimail needs 
it to be able to move replies back to the net. 
Sendmail -af {filename} -f {fromname@domain} {toname@domain}
