Receiving a file using IND$FILE file transfer

  1. From the Tools menu, choose Transfer File.

    The Transfer dialog box appears.

  2. Select Receive.

    • Under PC in the Filename box, enter the name of the new file (or existing file, if you are appending): either type the name (and path, if required) directly in the field, or choose the Browse button to search for a PC file.

    • When you receive a file and you supply a PC Filename that already exists, the Host file overwrites the PC file unless you select the Append to Existing PC File option in the IND$FILE Settings General page (see step 4, below).

    • Under Host, in the Filename box, enter the name of the existing mainframe file: either type the name (and path, if required) directly in the field, or choose the Browse button to search for a Host file.

  3. Select the host type from the list. For most file transfers, the default settings are adequate. However, you can change the settings to control how the PC file you are transferring will be stored on the mainframe.

  4. (Optional) To edit the settings of the transfer scheme you are using, choose the Settings button.

  5. Choose the Transfer button to begin the transfer.

  6. The File Transfer Progress dialog box is displayed during the transfer informing you of the transfer status.
