expression.INDSendFile( _
   ByVal pcFile As String, _
   ByVal hostFile As String, _
   ByVal type As INDFileTransferType, _
   ByVal fileExistsOption As FileExistsOption, _
   ByVal showStatus As Boolean _
)

where expression is a variable that represents a FileTransfer Object

Parameters

pcFile: Specifies a local file. Unless you provide complete path information, only files in the current directory will be found. You cannot use wildcard characters to send multiple files the way you can by using the Transfer screen.
hostFile: Specifies a name for the transferred file that complies with host file-naming conventions. You cannot use an empty string.
type: An INDFileTransferType value that specifies the type of file being transferred.
fileExistsOption: A fileExistsOption value that specifies what to do if the file specified in the HostFile argument already exists. This is a FileExistsOption Enumeration value.
showStatus: Displays the file transfer in the Progress window if set to true.

Exceptions

Exception	Description
InvalidOperationException	The exception that is thrown when a method call is invalid for the object's current state.

Remarks

If you're having trouble getting a transfer to work, make sure the XfrHostSys property is set to the appropriate value.

Example

This sample sends a file to the host. Before you run the sample, make sure the cursor is on a TSO command line.

Visual Basic

Sub FileTransferSendSample()
 
    path = Environ$("USERPROFILE") & "\Documents\Micro Focus\InfoConnect\" & "test.txt"
    
    'Set the configuration to TSO
    ThisIbmTerminal.FileTransfer.XfrHostSys = HostSystem_Tso
    
    ThisIbmTerminal.FileTransfer.INDSendFile path, "bvtst02.test7.txt", INDFileTransferType_Ascii, FileExistsOption_Overwrite, True
    
End Sub
