Re: Can I do file transfer from/to vios with vterm?

[Roberto José Etcheverry Romero <yggdrasil.raiker@xxxxxxxxx>]

How would you be doing the scratch install? If you are using the HMC you
already have a base interface configured. I usually document my VIOS so I
can rebuild them with a script instead of a backup.  Going back to your
point. I guess you could do an echo CONTENT > file.ext but I haven't tested
it and it wouldn't have any validation that you didn't lose anything in the
way...
