Example

This sample gets a file from the host. Before you run the sample, make sure the cursor is on a TSO command line.

void ReceiveFileTransfer()
{
    Application app = MyReflection.ActiveApplication;
    IFrame frame = (IFrame)app.GetObject("Frame");
 
    IView view = (IView)frame.SelectedView;
 
    IIbmTerminal terminal = (IIbmTerminal)view.Control;
 
    Attachmate.Reflection.Emulation.IbmHosts.IFileTransfer fTransfer = terminal.FileTransfer;
 
    fTransfer.XfrHostSys = HostSystem.Tso;
 
    fTransfer.INDReceiveFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Documents\countReceived.txt", "count.txt", INDFileTransferType.Ascii, FileExistsOption.Append, true);
 
}
