Hi,
Our users logon to our AIX server via telnet session. Would it be
possible that I can run a script automatically when the user log-on
and pick up an ascii file in the c:\ drive and send it to the AIX
server? Someone told me that this couldn't be done as the user's PC
has to run a ftp session. Is this true?

Thanks.

You could write a batch file that uploaded the file before they telnet
in.

Use smbclient to grab files from a user's machine. Put this request
into the users $HOME/.envfile (or $HOME/.kshrc, the name is site
dependent) and not in the user's $HOME/.profile.

Other kind os solution:
Some telnet clients (e. g. chameleon/rumba from netmanage) do know
vba scripts and are able to run a specific scenario at login
time. The solution is at the client side.

There are two things in your post:
- telnet sessions
- ftp sessions.

There are separate thing.

What I wrote there up applies to both.
