Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Sub INDSendFile( _
   ByVal pcFile As String, _
   ByVal hostFile As String, _
   ByVal type As INDFileTransferType, _
   ByVal fileExistsOption As FileExistsOption, _
   ByVal showStatus As Boolean _
)

'Usage
 
Dim instance As IFileTransfer
Dim pcFile As String
Dim hostFile As String
Dim type As INDFileTransferType
Dim fileExistsOption As FileExistsOption
Dim showStatus As Boolean
 
instance.INDSendFile(pcFile, hostFile, type, fileExistsOption, showStatus)

void INDSendFile( 
   string pcFile,
   string hostFile,
   INDFileTransferType type,
   FileExistsOption fileExistsOption,
   bool showStatus
)

Parameters

pcFile: Specifies a local file. Provide complete path information or the file can be found only if it's in the current directory to be found.
You cannot use wildcard characters to send multiple files, as you can when you use the Transfer screen.
hostFile: Specifies a name for the file being transferred. This name must comply with naming conventions for host files. You cannot use an empty string.
type: Specifies what type of file is being transferred.
fileExistsOption: Specifies what to do if the file specified in the HostFile argument already exists.
showStatus: Use true to display the Transfer in Progress window while the transfer is in progress, or false to not display the Transfer in Progress window.

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.

void SendFileTransfer()
{
    Application app = MyReflection.ActiveApplication;
    IFrame frame = (IFrame)app.GetObject("Frame");
 
    IView view = (IView)frame.SelectedView;
 
    IIbmTerminal terminal = (IIbmTerminal)view.Control;
 
    Attachmate.Reflection.Emulation.IbmHosts.IFileTransfer fTransfer = terminal.FileTransfer;
 
    fTransfer.XfrHostSys = HostSystem.Tso;
 
    fTransfer.INDSendFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Documents\test.txt", "bvtst02.test7.txt", INDFileTransferType.Ascii, FileExistsOption.Overwrite, true);
 
}
