Well, that's an interesting question, Rick. In my situations, everything was
behind the firewall so there was little concern for hackers. I do know that
the IIS on the WS can be setup with some security (userid, password, restricted
directory(ies), etc...

Well, at the site in question, there was no such updating of DNS for

FTP is popular, but a nasty protocol to secure properly, especially through
NAT-s

This is all very interesting but it doesn't address the issue of security very well. I'm stuck with
a direct COMCAST connection to my LAN that I can't disable without disabling my telephones as well.

That would be one of my major concerns, security. But then being a
mainframe oriented person and long time DP/IT/MIS person, I've always been
concerned about security.

A lot has been said about MVS/DNS/etc..., knowing the IP address of the workstation in
order for MVS to initiate the FTP "down" to the WS. Most have said it needs to
be a static IP address.
At this site, we use static IP addresses. However, while I no l

This seems like a whole lot of work to go through to get around a
problem that shouldn't exist in the first place. If the DHCP/DNS is
setup correctly, every PC should have a valid DNS name that resolves the
IP address correctly. I don't remember any site I've worked at recently
(5 years) where I
On the off chance that anybody is interested, the following will print
out the IP address of "eth0" on a Linux machine.

If you have Cygwin on your Windows box:
ipconfig | awk '/IP Address/ {print $NF}'

You have received several good answers including advice about IIS and FTP

Some other missing points:
Use another user on WinXP for FTP purposes only and allow ONLY that user on
that 'incoming' folder. Remove 'Everyone' from list of users who may 'share'

I frequently transfer mainframe files to the PC and transfer PC files to the

Dave;
In order to have a Windows workstation accept incoming FTP, in other
words Windows as an FTP server, you have to run the Windows IIS service
or the equivalent. IIS is an optional component of XP and Vista. There
are settings in IIS for starting an FTP server and HTTP server, maybe
others.

I run an ftp server on windows and it works quite well. Someone suggested a
