Templates Tab (Transfer Settings Dialog Box)

File transfer templates are available when the transfer protocol is set to Mainframe. These templates define a set of conditions that affect the way InfoConnect names files transferred between your Windows computer and a host. Unlike transfer request files, which are used to transfer the same file or set of files between your computer and a host, file transfer templates affect the how all files transferred between your computer and the host are named. You can create multiple conditions for InfoConnect to step through until it finds the first one that is applicable.

With file transfer templates, for example, you can send all local files with the extension .EXE to the host, and give them the extension .EXEC.

Activate transfer templates

Select to enable file transfer templates for all files transferred to or received from the host. When selected, InfoConnect steps through the list of file transfer templates to find a matching condition each time you transfer a file to or from the host.
