Hi All,
I have around 10 member in mainframe PDS. I know we can transfer a single member to a local machine using FTP GET command.
Is there a way where we can transfer all the 10 members in a single shot to a local machine using FTP GET command.
Thanks

hi,
Thanks for link, but it doesn't serve my purpose
I basically want to know, how we can specify the local directory path to store the members that are FTP from the mainframe file.
like for eg: i need to store these members in my local machine in the following directory 'temp' in 'C' drive, 'C:\Temp'.
How we will set the above path.
Thanks

Can't see why the information doesn't serve your purpose.
If you run ftp from the mainframe then you need to use CD else use LCD |

Hi All,
Below is my FTP process that i plan to run from DOS through a BAT file
open server name
userid
password
Prompt
CD C:\SUMU
Mget 'userid.jcl(*)'

Now i need to store members residing in PDS 'userid.jcl(*) to my local machine directory 'sumu' in 'C drive'. I gave as above (highlighted).
But it is not working as expected.
Thanks

Would you care to elaborate just a little on that
"But it is not working as expected."
Tells us absolutely nothing. How can we be expected to help you if you do not give any usefull information ?
So, what do you expect to happen and what is actually happening. |

hi,
Ths issue for me is that the the members in PDS 'userid.jcl(*)' that are downloaded to my local machine c:\sumu has not come in TEXT format.
Below is the FTP command i am executing from DOS. Here, where should i explicitly mention TEXT format.
open FTP server
userid
password
Prompt
LCD c:\SUMU
Mget 'userid.jcl(*)'
bye |

Addendum: be aware that the member names are transferred without any file extension. There may be a way to get a desired file extension on the files but I'm not aware of it, and the method would definitely NOT be standard FTP. |

Yes, there is dos command to RENAME.
Once you say 'BYE' to FTP server. Then you type a dos command :
REN *.* *.txt
all your members will have .TXT extension now.
It should work.
Thanks,
