How to transfer file from Windows to Mainframe using FTP or script?

Question

We would like to transfer a file everyday from a Shared location to remote location.

I was informed to use following script:

ASCII
QUOTE SITE RECFM=FB LRECL=750 BLKSIZE=23250 FILE=SEQ CYL PRI=50 SEC=20
PUT filename ‘filename(+1)'
BYE

Also, was recommended to use MOVEit Freely 5.5.0.0 – Secure FTP client.

Is the script above has to be written in Mainframe or in .dat file ?

Answer 1

Using text editor, put the ftp commands, one command per line.

ASCII
QUOTE SITE RECFM=FB LRECL=750 BLKSIZE=23250 FILE=SEQ CYL PRI=50 SEC=20
PUT filename ‘filename(+1)'
BYE

Let's pretend the script filename you made is send.txt, you can then run the command ftps like:

ftps -s:send.txt hostname
