Interface
Setting host file transfer parameters provides step-by-step instructions
for setting the host parameters so that you can transfer files using the
menu interface, with notes on the differences for different host types.
Following this is a section about starting the file transfer for each host
type. For instructions for transferring files using the command line
option, see “Transferring Files from the HP-UX Command Prompt”.
Setting Host File Transfer Parameters
Before starting a file transfer, you must set host file transfer parameters,
which identify your host's operating system and specify the size and
format of files to be transferred. You can set these parameters
independently for each 3270 session.
File transfer parameters are stored in your style file. If you wish to keep
the changed parameters for future use, use the File menu to save the
current style (for more information, see Chapter 6, “Customizing 3270
Emulation,”).
To set host file transfer parameters, use the following procedure:
Step 1. From the File Transfer dialog box, highlight the session you want to use.
Step 2. Choose <Host Parameters>. The dialog box in Figure 5-2, “The
Options for SESSnn Dialog Box,” is displayed.
Step 3. Modify the file transfer parameters as appropriate.
Step 4. Choose <OK> to set parameters or <Cancel> to abandon any changes.
Either action returns to the File Transfer dialog box.
