AFTP API support. The Service Pack adds a new API to automate AFTP file transfers programmatically. SNA Server 2.11 included a command-line interface to initiate and automate AFTP file transfers, but several customers requested that the initiation of AFTP commands be enabled from a custom-built application. To satisfy this request, the Service Pack adds support for the AFTP API, which is an IBM-defined API that effectively provides the command-line interface to any 32-bit Windows-based application running on the Windows
95, Windows NT Workstation, or Windows NT Server operating systems. Users can now automate AFTP file transfers to take place based on program logic, simplifying the configuration of their applications.
