I'm confused. If you want to transfer text data (in either direction) between the HMC and a memory stick, you need to mount the stick in the HMC.
I never used remote access to the HMC so I don't know if the import/export functions will support a text transfer between the HMC (server) and your workstation (client). But if it does support such a transfer, why would you bother with the memory stick? A file on a memory stick on the workstation is just Q:\x.txt which is no different to the transfer protocol than one on your hard drive (C:\x.txt). I wonder if the HMC backup functions will support any destination other than the local (to the HMC) CD/DVD drive. :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of R.S. :>: Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2012 1:55 AM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: Re: R/W access to HMC :>: :>: Yes, I can import IOCP txt from memory stick, but I want to UPLOAD the :>: file TO memory stick from my workstation.
