Sample FTP session

Here are two sample FTP command sequences for a transfer of a XMIT file from a PC to a MVS mainframe using the line mode FTP program:

Windows 95/98/NT:
- CD C:\DOWNLOAD (or where ever you downloaded the XMIT file)
- FTP mvs-host
- You will be prompted for your MVS userid and password
- BINARY
- QUOTE SITE LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=3120 RECFM=FB
- QUOTE SITE PRI=200 SEC=200 TRACKS
- PUT name.XMI
- QUIT
OS/2:
- CD C:\DOWNLOAD (or where ever you downloaded the XMIT file)
- FTP mvs-host
- You will be prompted for your MVS userid and password
- BINARY
- SITE LRECL=80 BLKSIZE=3120 RECFM=FB
- SITE PRI=200 SEC=200 TRACKS
- PUT name.XMI
- QUIT

The FTP sequence is almost the same for OS/2 and Windows except for the SITE command.
