6. Transfer the CMS tools and disk images for 191 and 19F to work disk.
The images and CMS tools must be transferred via FTP in BINARY mode to ensure
that the files are not modified in transit. Use the planning and installation worksheet
as a checklist for the process of uploading the files to z/VM.
The files can also be transferred using magnetic tape if a tape drive is available.
Use BINARY Mode When Transferring with FTP
If you use FTP to transfer the files, the files must be transferred using BINARY
mode. Using the default ASCII transfer will corrupt the files and make them
unusable.
If transferring the files via tape, be certain to preserve file attributes such as
LRECL, record format and block size. The CMS utilities expect the files to be
in certain formats, and will fail if not presented with the correct input.

Do you wish to continue? Enter 1 (YES) or 0 (NO).
