Start the FTP server on the machine that has the file. Be sure you authorize it appropriately. Now is a good time to review the FTP chapter in the TCP/IP Planning book. Also, on this machine find out what minidisk holds the file. E.g. HOWARD 191. Then on the machine you want the file to be copied to, access the disk as some <filemode> and access TCPMAINT 592. FTP otherhost.company.com ...and login cd howard.191 lcd <filemode> ebcdic get my.file quit Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
