Re: AS/400 Files to Mainframe

Bill,

That much data is really not out of the question for FTP if you have a 
decent Ethernet connection to the mainframe. Have you tried it to see what 
the time is? If the frame sizes are large enough you might get pretty 
decent throughput.

Or, how about using SNADS or DISOSS to transfer the files? If you have VM 
on the mainframe you can use SNADS to RSCS. If you are going to MVS you can 
use DISOSS.

Or, how about zipping the file on the AS/400, transferring with FTP, then 
unzipping on the mainframe?
