To transfer a file or folder

Note: To use this feature, you must have certain privileges. See Accessing File Transfer.

• At a command prompt, type <DBEnterprise program directory>\DBEnterprise followed by a COPY command, as in the following example. Additional examples are provided below. Make sure that you enclose Windows filenames and directory names in quotation marks. Keywords and MCP filenames are case insensitive.

  COPY "localname" { TO | AS } (usercode)MCPName [ ON familyname ]

  [ { FROM | VIA } ipnameoraddress ] [ PORT portnbr ]

  [ TEXT | BINARY ]

  COPY (usercode)MCPName [ ON familyname ] { TO | AS } "localname"

  [ { FROM | VIA } ipnameoraddress ] [ PORT portnbr ]

  [ TEXT | BINARY ] [ INDIRECT ]

  Use this keyword	For
  TO	The folder or directory destination
  AS	The filename destination. Use this keyword to specify a desired target name. For example, use AS if you want to retain ON <familyname> in the name of a file that is copied from the MCP environment to Windows. If the source is multiple files, the AS keyword is treated as TO and the destination will be a folder or a directory.
  FROM -or- VIA	The host name or IP address of the DBServer. The keywords are synonymous.
  TEXT	Translating the file contents between ASCII and EBCDIC and adding or removing carriage returns and line feeds.
  BINARY	Preventing any translation

If a syntax error occurs, a dialog box appears with the correct syntax, provided the attempted command can be determined. Otherwise, the dialog box will show the syntax for all commands.
