File Transfer Products

Various File Transfer products can be used under MVS to transfer data from MVS to other systems, and vice versa.

These File Transfer programs include FTPSERV from IBM, and XCOM and CONNECT DIRECT (formerly NDM) from Computer Associates (CA). In addition, the TSO/E TRANSMIT and RECEIVE commands can be used to send and receive files.

Each product has its own transfer method and may or may not have easy-to-use interfaces and exits. We provide some general tips on how Control‑M can interface with these products. We recommend that you check with the appropriate software representative to determine whether these tips are suitable for your environment.
