File Upload/Download - IBM Professional Series User Manual

File Upload/Download
Uploading refers to the sending of programs and data from
your local VM/PC session to your remote VM system.
Downloading is the reverse; sending programs and data from
your remote system to your local VM/PC session.
In VM/PC, there are no explicit file upload/download
commands. Such data sending results from the CMS
commands you issue in your local VM/PC session when the
VMPCSERV program is active. To upload a file to a remote
minidisk, do the following:
1. LINK to the remote minidisk in write mode
2. ACCESS the minidisk (for example as file mode R)
3. Use the CMS COPYFILE command (for example: to
Upload a file DESSERT LIST, which is on your A disk,
to your R disk, the remote minidisk, issue
COPYFILE DESSERT LIST A DESSERT LIST R
This results in the file DESSERT LIST being copied
from your A disk and being created on your R disk; that
is, being uploaded to your remote minidisk.
You download a file similarly, using the CMS copyfile
command:
1. LINK to the remote minidisk in read or write mode
2. ACCESS the minidisk (for example as file mode R)
3. Use the CMS COPYFILE command (for example: to
download the file DESSERT LIST, which is on your R
disk, to your A disk, the local minidisk, issue
COPYFILE DESSERT LIST R DESSERT LIST A
This results in the file DESSERT LIST being copied
from your R disk and being created on your A disk; that
is, being downloaded to your local minidisk.
