In article <8905122322.AA24828>, John King references a
3270 emulation package that supports a PC file transfer.
Several questions:
Is there a "standard" file transfer protocol for IBM 3270 emulations?
Is this a "supported" feature of IBM's 3270 emulation packages?
What 3270 PC emulations support this 3270 file transfer protocol?
Can anyone provide me with detailed references that define the
message stream for this protocol?
thanks.

I have not seen any 3270 PC emulators that don't support File Transfer. They must be pretty old!

It is often referred to as "supporting IND$FILE". So if you see that in a vendor's advertising, (including ours) that means 3270 PC File Transfer is supported. > > What 3270 PC emulations support this 3270 file transfer protocol? > > > Several IBM and non-IBM products implement this protocol, e. g.: > IBM Product 5665-311 MVS TSO/E Server > IBM Product 5664-281 VM/SP CMS Server > IBM PC 3270 Emulation Program (client function) > Sun Microsystems SunLink SNA 3274 ibmftp (client function) > others?
