Hi,
Other than FTP and NDM is there any other way of transmitting the file. If so please tell me. also please give me the sample code.

Thanks in advance.

bobi,

You can also use XMIT aka TRANSMIT command to transmit files. Check this link which explains in detail.

Hope this helps...

Cheers

I think XMIT will not be useful for transmiting file from mainframe to unix.

What is Secured ftp. can any one give me a example code for secured ftp.
of if any one know any other method please tell me.

thanks

For the sake of discussion, there are many other methods that haven't been mentioned. Their use, of course, depends on the network connections available between the two machines (i.e. the "Channel"):

- Asynchronous Protocols (XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, Kermit)

- Binary Synchronous (BSC) Protocols (2780, 3780)

- Network Protocols (Remote Job Entry (RJE), Network Job Entry (NJE), Bulk Data Transfer (BDT)

- SDLC Protocols (3770)

- MQ/Series

For a real-world example, at this site, NDM is the standard, and the use of FTP is prohibited. For an alternative to NDM, we use Oracle as the transport between the mainframe and the distributed environments.

Secure FTP (FTP/S) uses SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to encrypt the communication channel between the FTP client and the FTP server.

As in other SSL technologies, both sides must employ the use of digital certificates. These certificates are signed by a signing authority (Thawte or Verisign) and allow the SSL protocol to validate each site to each other, and supply the public-key information to the chosen encryption algorithm, allowing the server to encrypt the SSL datastream, and the client to decrypt the same SSL datastream.

Forgot to mention Network File System (NFS) and Hypertext Transport Protocol (HTTP).
