HI, When I create MFNetDisk one of my dream was to share 3390 disks or tapes from any distance using TCP and PC.
One of the best targeting was to enable sharing installation files from distance without the need to FTP anything. Imagine accessing the MVS SMP from any location directly to IBM site. Just put the SMPPTS as input with the storage in remote IBM site using MFNetDisk and it is done. Another option was to deliver PC file (each PC file is 3390 disk or tape) and by running the MFNetDisk application in MVS to be able to install the MVS from the PC as MF tapes or as MF 3390 disks. Maybe I did not think enough about it, maybe I am wrong, maybe security, RACF or what ever I am not aware, but just thinking about other options to install software.
