Saving configuration settings

All LIPI file transfer settings can be saved in two different ways:

  • Saved with your iSeries Display settings
  • Saved as a separate configuration file

When you start and configure a LIPI file transfer session, all of your host file transfer configuration settings are saved as part of your iSeries configuration. By default, BlueZone host file transfer is configured to automatically save its configuration settings along with your iSeries Display session settings. This is controlled by the file options settings.

Refer to Setting the file and tracing options for more information.

Unless you have a need to export your LIPI file transfer settings, you do not have to create a configuration file to save your settings.

To save with your iSeries Display settings:
  1. In the Host File Transfer window, click File → Save from the menu bar.

  2. Close the Host File Transfer window.

  3. Save your iSeries Display.

To save as a separate configuration file:

  1. In the Host File Transfer window, click File → Save As.
  2. Type a name for the file.
  3. Click Save.
    By default, LIPI file transfer configuration files are saved in the \Config folder of the working directory with a file extension of .ADF.
