Hi all
Can anybody send me a sample FTP script to migrate my dataset from MF to UNIX.Do we need to write the FTP script in a JCL script, if yes please somebody share a script of that kind.
Thanks,
Vinay

Hi,
we don't have to write any jcl in mainframe.
In UNIX execute the following :
$ ftp <ip address of mainframe>
then, you will see "ftp>" prompt as shown below.
ftp>
now type below commands to transfer the file from mainframe to unix.
ftp> bin (this specifies the format of the file to be downloaded).
ftp> get < ' mainframe datasetname' > <unix filename>
Note : mainframe dataset name must be in single quotes.

Use TSO HOMETEST to find the Mainfram IP. This IP Address can be used with FTP GET. ( to unload files from mainframe)

Hi Natrajan
I tried it , but it still does not work. Can you please suggest me another way . What confuses me is i think i dont have access to do an FTP in the method you had told me so . Please suggest me in any other way you know.
Thanks

I am new to this site. Here's i am sending you the solution how to send the files from MF to UNIX Through JCL.
//JOBCARD ............
//FTP EXEC PGM=FTP
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTPUT DD SYSOUT=*,DCB=(RECFM=FB,LRECL=160,BLKSIZE=3200)
//INPUT DD DSN=TEST.CTLCARDS(MFUNIX),DISP=SHR
/*
TEST.CTLCARDS(MFUNIX)
-----------------------
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx <--- IP address of UNIX server
abcdef <-- User ID of UNIX mail box
123abc <--- Password
put 'File name'/download <--- Path that you need to keep the file
quit
I think it will work.
Please reply me If work or not.
Thanks
