FTP stage

An FTP stage is kind of like reading from a sequential file. I does require a user and password. It starts processing the data before the whole file is read. It is hard to debug connection issues. I prefer ftping in a shell script and then processing the sequential file. Easier to debug. We have had issues with IBM machines automatically failing the first attempt forcing you to reissue user and password therefore scripting was the only solution. They do this to disable hacker scripts.
