So, since I transfer 4 DFDSS dumps a day via TERSE and FTP, I thought I'd put together a test restore to see what happened. I used the following FTP command stream; which is identical, except for replacing the put with a get, to the outbound. It worked fine; a DFDSS TYPRUN=NORUN restore read the entire dataset and would have restored the known universe. The "site rdw" command gets a command not understood, since the Windows FTP server doesn't do Record Descriptor Words. Here are the FTP commands. note the clever use of the DDNAME option. nottherealserver nottherealuid nottherealpswd binary site rdw cd \ftp\blue2\backup lcd 'TEMP.FULLSYS.DFDSS.SHIFTBK.BACKUPR' status ls lpwd pwd get shift.trs //DD:SYSUT1 quit
