From the Transfer Settings dialog box, you can configure global transfer setup for the current session document. For AS/400 transfer, Reflection creates a new connection to the host. If you don't want to be prompted each time you transfer files, you can save your user name and password information on the AS/400 tab. Any configuration you perform is saved with your session document.
From the Transfer dialog box, you can configure and perform specific transfers. In 5250 sessions you don't need to be connected to a host to open this dialog box. If you frequently repeat the same transfers, use transfer request files to save specific transfer information, including which files to transfer.
A common way to receive data from an AS/400 is to collect only the data you need from one or more files in the host database. To do this you can create an SQL query. Query information can also be saved to a transfer request file.
