The file transfer feature copies files between your PC and the mainframe. The Send and Receive commands open a dialog box where you specify the file type, transfer protocol, and host environment for the file transfer. You can also choose to have Rumba+ start the file transfer protocol. The mainframe file transfer feature works transparently with SimXfer and most IBM host operating systems, including CICS, TSO, and VM/CMS.
The mainframe file transfer also provides abundant functionality such as support for ASCII or binary transfers, Write Structured Field or Buffered data streams, EBCDIC-to-ASCII translation, and data compression. Rumba+ also supports DOS-based, batch, and drag-and-drop file transfer features.
