Mainframe – PC File Transfer

When Control‑D/WebAccess Server is installed, files can be transferred from the mainframe to the PC. These transfers can be initiated from the mainframe (Push mode) and from the PC (Pull mode).

File transfers in Push mode can be implemented through KeyStroke Language KSL scripts or by the File Transfer Monitor. For information about performing file transfers with scripts, see the Control‑D/WebAccess Server Administrator Guide.

File transfers in Pull mode can be implemented manually by the user through Control‑D/WebAccess Server commands and automatically by the Control‑D/WebAccess Server on the LAN. For information about these methods, see the Control‑D/WebAccess Server User Guide.

At most sites, file transfers are made in Push mode. At some sites, Pull mode may be more appropriate, especially if the LAN is not active 24 hours a day or PC users are often not connected to the LAN.
