Hi,

I want to transfer some 250 sequential files from mainframe to PC(windows OS).

I am looking for the batchutility FTP to transfer these files as a bulk. But I have few queries in the parameters used for this FTP utility.

The parameter list required for FTP utility would be

Host name
Port
User id
Password.

Does this refer to the Mainframe user id and password?

If i try with the mainframe user id and password and if i specify the path of the as "C:\abc"(Path to store the file in PC), It is showing the error message as "Specified folder not found".

Can someone explain the parameter usage for FTP utility?

Thanks.
