The ActiveX File Transfer Client user an interface similar to that of Windows Explorer to transfer files between a PC and
the host. You can only upload one PC file at a time to the host as opposed to the download function which allows you to download
more than one AS/400 file or member at a time. When you upload a PC file to the AS/400, you must:
|
• |
Select the host file and/or member
If you select a host file, the AS/400 uses the first member in that file as the target member
|
|
• |
Click the Upload button or drag the PC file to the host |
To upload a file from your PC to the AS/400, follow these steps:
|
1. |
Expand the directory tree in the PC Files panel on the ActiveX File Transfer control and select the file you wish to transfer.
|
|
2. |
Expand the directory tree on the Host files panel and select one of the following:
|
• |
Select the file in which you wish to place the PC file If you only select a file, the AS/400 uses the first member in that file as the target. You can create either a new member
or a new file and member or use the existing member.
|
|
• |
Select the member you wish to overwrite with the contents of the PC file. |
|
|
3. |
Click Upload Options to define any conversion or formatting options. |
|
4. |
Start transferring the file using one of the following two options:
|
a. |
Click the PC file in the PC Files panel and drag it on top of the target host file in the Host Files panel. You cannot use
the drag-and-drop function when a new member or a new file and member have been created because they don't exist on the host
yet. You will have to use the Upload button on the toolbar to complete the file transfer. |
|
b. |
With both PC and Host files selected (see Step 1 and Step 2), click the Upload button on the toolbar. The Uploading file
dialog box opens to display the progress of the transfer. If you are about to overwrite an existing member, a dialog box
opens to confirm the operation.
|
• |
Click Yes to overwrite the member
|
|
• |
Click No to cancel the transfer
|
|
|
|
5. |
You can click Cancel at any time to terminate the file transfer. Once the transfer is complete, the contents of your transferred file should
appear on the AS/400 host in the member you specified. If the contents of the uploaded file are not as expected, then you
should check the upload settings using the Upload Options button. |
