The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.
We manage most of our systems remotely with an HMC or OpsCon so FTP
works best for us and we do the overnight transfer.

Here's an FTP script from a recent FTP load of an image catalog:

I usually use the Download as Images option to my "PC." My PC in this case is a network drive mapped to the IFS on our test LPAR. This works well, and if I add more downloads it just tacks them onto the list of things to download. This puts .BIN images in the IFS ready for an image catalog.
FTP may be faster, but this is a nice 'overnight' process. We're generally not in that much of a hurry to get the PTFs since we have to apply them during a scheduled IPL.
As far as moving things between LPARs, I've found that using QFileSvr.400 and some MOV commands gets things copied very quickly. You can stuff all of the .BINs in a folder and move it with one MOV.
