What am I missing?

I open an ACS connection, click to run a data transfer from the
iSeries to my PC, answer the from & to, and get the data just
fine. At that point I expect to be asked if I wish to save that
data request (because that's how, as I understand it, we define a
data transfer to the iSeries). It doesn't ask.

Then I try to run a data transfer to the iSeries but it says it failed
because there is no .fdfx file. Then it asks me if I want to save that
request.

So... how does one create an .fdfx file?

Also, somewhere along the line, I have no idea where, it creates
a .dtfx file.

Seems to work OK for me, Booth. ACS v1.1.6.

Data transfers OK and asks me if I wish to create a .dtfx when I
close the Data Transfer session.

The .fdfx file is an option tucked behind the DETAILS button if you
then tick the SAVE CLIENT FILE DESCRIPTION box.

Must be a bad install for me. bummer

I create the .dtfx file. The details button doesn't have the SAVE
file ... checkbox.

Like Brian, I have a newer version [v1.1.6] than yours. Mine functions like Brian explained. However, in case the source of the issue is that an incorrect `Details` button may have been clicked, rather than the source of the issue being the down-level software:

Realize, that the `Save client file description` referred to by Brian, should be found in the dialogue presented after clicking the `Details` button that is located _to the right_ of the `Output device` specification [within the `File` section wherein is described where on the client to store the file data], as presented on a "From IBM i" DT request; i.e. to be clear, that was *not* a reference to the *another* `Details` button that is located _to the left_ just above the `Start Transfer` button, as presented on a "To IBM i" DT request.
