How to FTP a File Using Reflection Software

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is the primary method for transferring a file from the mainframe at DMA to a PC (or vice versa). The procedure depends upon whether the FTP session has already been determined (in the current Attachmate/Reflection work space. This can use the “Session” type (as shown), or can be selected from the Windows option named “Reflection FTP Client” if you want to go to the trouble. This is shown below, after the Session option.

It is important, regardless of the method used, to establish a connection through the BLS firewall, using the standard logon method discussed in the portion of this appendix that deals with sign in (see Section 2 of this document). Be sure to perform this process first, so your connection to BLS is current.
