File Transfer Method
There are two types of file transfer methods:

• IND$FILE
  Uses the native IBM host file transfer program to send and receive files to and from the mainframe host. This method is only available for TN3270 emulation.

• FTP
  Uses the File Transfer Protocol to transfer files to and from any FTP Server.

FTP Server... Button
When the FTP file transfer method is selected, this button is used to configured the FTP server Host Settings, Firewall, and optional SSH or SSL security.

Select Transfer Scheme
For the IND$FILE file transfer method, one of the following schemes can be selected: CMS Text, CMS Binary, TSO Text, TSO Binary, CICS Text, CICS Binary or Custom. For the FTP file transfer method, either FTP Default or Custom can be selected.

Customize... Button
When customizing an IND$FILE file transfer scheme there are General, CMS, TSO and CICS settings to be configured. For FTP this button displays the FTP File Transfer Scheme dialog box.

Custom Transfer Scheme File
Use the Browse... button to select a custom file transfer scheme that has been previously defined. There are two different file extensions for file transfer schemes.

• .zti file extension for IND$FILE transfer schemes

• .ztf file extension for FTP file transfer schemes

File Transfer Schemes and Lists Path
Use the Browse... button to locate and specify the path to be used for storing file transfer schemes and file transfer lists.

Number of Recent File Transfer List
Enter a numeric value between 0 and 16, which will determine the number of recent file transfers to save for future use on the Transfer menu. If 0 is entered, items will not be saved to the list.

Clear List Button
Click this button to remove the current entries in the recent file transfer list. A dialog box will display indicating that the list has been cleared.

Delay between IND$FILE transfers (msec)
When sending and receiving a list of files using IND$FILE, timing issues may occur. This setting provides the ability to specify a certain amount of time to wait between the transfer of files. The default value is 1000 msec (1 second).
