The name blue Zone gave me a lot of information because I did a web
search and found out some of the information I needed. the blue zone
tool is what called a Front - End Application. It is a termional
emulator which means it jhust replaces a key board and monitor with a
web tools. I suspect the host application you are using is very old,
used by a lot of people if they are using a terminal emulator.
The .com address I don't think belong to blue Zone it is your company's
host mainframe. A .com address is really a phone book name for an IP
address 192.136.10.2 (or similar). It is refere to a IP 4 because there
are 4 groups of number each with 256 possible number (0 - 255). Some
people are using IP 5 becasue they are running out of numbers.
There are few approaches you can take depending on what type of data
you are uploading and downloading. You can access the data through Blue
zone tool by opening a IE application or access the host directly
through Telnet (Terminal apllication) or FTP (File transfer Protocol).
I have a VBA program to use FTP for transfering files. FTP is a
different application which is equivalent to HTTP. Youcan actually type
in your web browser Ftp:// + URL to get to your web site and downup load
files.
I would like two mnore pices of information.
1) What type of data are you access on the main frame and what type of
commands or keyboard/mouse operations you are using.
2) I would like you to try to access both FTP and Telnet to see if
these can be used.
Using your windows Explorer (not IE explorer, right click START button
and pick explore) go to folder c:\windows.system32.
Find FTP
Enter : OPEN and then Type you URL and press Enter on keyboard
You should be prompted for you username and password
If you aren't prompted then Type : User and Enter on your keyboard
You can enter the word HELP on your keyboard to get a list of commands
that FTP will except.
You can do the same by opening a web browser and type FTP:// + URL.
Now close FTP and try the same with Telnet. You can't use telnet with
the web browser only the window explorer.
Let me know the results. I had you access the host directly you give
you a better understadning of the task you are trying to perform. If
you give me the URL you are using I would like to see the Login sceen to
get more information. I wouldn't try to login in but just want to see
if the are any clues to help us proceed. You can send me a private
message on TheCodeCage so other people will not see the URL.
