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 Logging on to EXPO at DMA with Attachmate. Be sure to perform this process first, so your connection to BLS is current.
A successful sign-on is indicated when the following screen is displayed. Data is displayed in both the left and the right panes; the left list files on the PC side, the right side lists files on the mainframe side.
If you get an error message like the one below, you may have mistyped the password.
If the message below is displayed, you waited too long to enter your password. To correct this, make sure that you are connected through the BLS firewall by following the steps in the Logging on to EXPO at DMA with Attachmate section of this document.
