Using what: batch job, terminal emulator, something else?

First - start a new topic for a new question.
Second - explain more clearly what you are trying to do with what and what the problem was that you encountered whilst trying.

Hello,

Which do you want to do - your subject says one thing and your message says the opposite

One very easy to do either (send a file from a pc to the mainframe or from the mainframe to a pc) is to use ftp.

Where are you stuck?

or from the mainframe to a pc

I think your PC needs to be running an FTP server to accomplish that. Most people do not have one. But PC to mainframe should work well.

I do not know much about networking... but my local z/OS system allows email from it using XMIT or to it using RECEIVE.

ISPF has a workstation client. Perhaps you can just edit workstation files with the ISPF editor.

Or with the workstation client, you can use a combination of the WSCON service / EDIT service / your editor macro to move data around. For example: 1) edit an empty workstation file, 2) copy in z/OS file and 3) save to the workstation. Or the other way: 1) edit a real workstation file, 2) copy editor lines to a rexx stem variable and 3) EXECIO to a z/OS file.

Hello,

I think your PC needs to be running an FTP server to accomplish that.

Not if the pc "pulls" the data. Most pc's have an ftp client installed as it (the client) comes with tcp/ip.

I should have used more words . . .
