The simplest was to ftp from the pc to a pds or seq dataset is to start a ms-dos session (cmd.exe) and use windows ftp:
ftp host bin (optional) put c:\filename 'MVS.PDS.NAME(MEMBER)' bye of course, the ftp servers have to be active on the host lpar. even with attachmate, would you not have to know the host name or ip address in order to ftp? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George.William Sent: Monday, December 22, 2008 4:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Attachmate Extra! and upload to PDS from PC Yes but at this point I'm not being given the host address to FTP too so I only have the tools within Attachmate.

MY QUESTION How do I setup its File Transfer to upload files on my PC to an existing z/Os PDS. When I attempt this I get an error that the host file name is invalid or can't be found. I've tried all sorts of different setups plus looked for all the on-line help and have come up empty handed. I can update load to a new sequential file just fine but there must be a way to add a file (member) to an existing PDS. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
