Transferring Files
Transferring Files from the HP-UX Command Prompt
X
This parameter is used for both Send and Receive.
-
This parameter is not used for this host type.
R
This parameter is used for Receive only. Do not use
for Send.
S
This parameter is used for Send only, when creating a
new host data set or host file. Do not use for Receive
or when replacing or appending to an existing host
data set or host file.
For CICS, you must specify either ASCII or BINARY, and either CRLF or
NOCRLF.
If you are communicating with a Japanese host, the keyword ASCII is
replaced by JISCII. See the note on this parameter below.
The following list describes each of the file transfer options:
APPEND
Causes the file being sent to be added to the end of the
target HP-UX file, host file, or host data set. If the file
does not exist, it is created.
ASCII
Causes the file to be translated between ASCII (on the
HP-UX computer) and EBCDIC (on the host). Specify
this option only for text files, not for binary files. For
CICS, you must specify either this option or the
BINARY option. See also H(nnn) and P(nnn) later in
this list. If you are communicating with a Japanese
host, specify the keyword JISCII instead of ASCII.
JISCII
Equivalent to the ASCII option but used with Japanese
hosts (which recognize the keyword JISCII instead of
ASCII). If you are communicating with a Japanese
host, specify the JISCII option; otherwise, specify
ASCII. The two options are used in exactly the same
way.
BINARY
