Advantages of IND$FILE: -- Quick. I can usually complete a (small) file transfer in less time than it takes to get past FTP syntax complaints. -- Simple. My emulator (Vista3270) has built-in support for IND$FILE. Just click Up arrow or Down arrow. -- I can initiate up or download from my host session. FTP has to be initiated from the work station because it has no FTP server.
So for short ad hoc transfers, I usually use IND$FILE. For big files or repetitive/canned processes, FTP is preferable. Or if security is required. . . .

I am assuming that TCPIP is up and running and that you are not accessing your TSO via native VTAM?
