Product

PASSPORT PC to Host, PASSPORT Web to Host

Emulation Types

TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

I would like to add the FTPReceive function to my macro using a variable rather than embedding a filename.  How can I do this with PASSPORT?

Solution

Here is the syntax for the ReceiveFile function:

ReceiveFile

Receives a file from the host.

Syntax:

SessionObject.ReceiveFile "localfile", "'hostfile'"

Parameters

localfile = name of file to create on local PC, including full path.

hostfile = name of file on host to receive.
