MVS UNIX or VMS

 

• via FTP. Just type

  FTP <node>

  You are prompted for account and password, then type:

  put  <mvsfile> <remotefile>
  get  <remotefile> <mvsfile> (replace 
  quit

  The (replace forces overwriting of existing MVS datasets. Note that under UNIX filenames are case-sensitive. Lower case is recommended. MVS FTP has a "multiple get" feature (mget subcommand), but unfortunately lacks a mapping utility ( no nmap subcommand ). When connecting to a VMS computer, the square brackets ([]) may be replaced by angle brackets (<>).

  Example to copy program sources from a VMS to an MVS reference area:

  ftp fritz
  
  cd flib_mvs:                                      # change VMS directory
  lcd 'kp09.flib.incl'                              # switch to that PDS on MVS 
  get fclink.incl             fclink   (replace     # get PDS member fclink
  get fcflag.incl             fcflag   (replace
  lcd 'kp09.flib.fort'                              # switch to that PDS on MVS 
  get fcdfflg.fort           fcdfflg   (replace
  quit
