Are they all text files? All binary? A mix of the two?

Just using standard tools, on PC I would use tar to create a tarball including all the files. The tarball may then be uploaded (binary) to z/OS USS and files extracted there using PAX.

PAX can manage the ascii to ebcdic conversion, but this assumes that the tarball only contains text files.

I hope this helps,

You said the user does not have FTP - could they have sftp ?

Otherwise it would require a 3270 emulator macro to automate the ind$file
transfer - depending on the emulator.

Subject: How to upload 600 files from PC to Mainframe

List

A friend has over 400 individual files to upload to the Mainframe from a PC

He does not have FTP

He does have IND$FILE

How can he get the files up to the mainframe without doing them
individually.  But batching them up?

Thank you

Lizette
