About Transferring Files
ETU allows you to transfer files and programs between a host system and
any microcomputer connected by emulation software to the host. To
transfer a file from one system to another, you must provide certain
information such as the name of the file you are transferring, the type
of file it is, and the name of file to which you are transferring it.
For example, if you are transferring a file from a PC to the host, you
must provide the name of the PC file and the name of the host file. If
the file that is to receive the data does not exist, ETU will create the
file. The information common to the file transfer commands is explained
below. For more information about specific transfer commands, see Chapter
5, Transferring Files.
Micro and Host File Names
ETU requires you to supply the names of the host file and the micro file
you want to transfer or translate. You should be familiar with the
following file name parameters:
Qualified file name
The name of the micro file you are transferring data
to or from. The qualified file name can be up to 80
characters long including the file path. See Chapter
3, Using ETU, for more information on micro files.
Host file name
The name of the host file that you are transferring
data to or from. Host file names can be up to ten
characters long. You must include the name of the
host file for all file transfers.
Host library name
The library containing the host file. You may
include the name of the library or use the default,
*LIBL, which searches all libraries in your library
list for the host file.
Host member name
The name of a specific member in a host physical
file, if the physical file contains more than one
member. You can transfer one specific member by
including the member name, or you can use the
default, *FILE, which transfers the member with the
same name as the host file name.
