Show Host Files

Click to display host files in a tree view. The display you see depends on the protocol you have selected. Reflection displays only those files that can be transferred using the currently selected transfer protocol.

In 5250 sessions, when you click Show Host Files you are prompted for user name and password, unless you have configured these values from the AS/400 tab of the Transfer Settings dialog box.

Show Host Files is not available if you are transferring to and from a CICS host.

Refresh

Click to refresh the file list. This button appears in place of the Show host files button after you have displayed the host files.

Add Library

Click to view an additional library (you will need to provide the library name). This button appears only if you are connected to an AS/400 host, and you have displayed the host files.

Level

Click to open the New Level dialog box, where you can specify the high-level qualifier or qualifiers (or filter) of the host files to display.

Note: This button appears only if you have configured File Transfer for a TSO host and you have displayed the host files.

If you enter a filter that is a subset of the files in the current view, only the files matching the filter are displayed. If the filter is not a subset of the files in the current view, the files matching the filter are added to the view.
