It would work both ways.

For instance, if I needed to rm 067890* on my AIX box I could send the
appropriate commands through a button interface on my windows app.

If I wanted to find out if the event was successful, I would do an ls
-la (basic FTP) enumerate through the files etc which I could return the
data to my windows application.

The key is in the methods and the emulation type of the server at least
with my methods anyway.

I am probably not elegant at it but it has gotten me some work.
