mqftsndc (send file from client)
Purpose
The mqftsndc command is available with the File Transfer Application on WebSphere MQ for Windows, and WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform) clients only.
Use the mqftsndc command to send a file from a WebSphere MQ client using the File Transfer Application.
Syntax
>>-mqftsndc-- -q --QueueName--+----------------+----------------> '- -m --QMgrName-' >--+----------------------+--+------+--+-----------------+------> '- -t --TargetQMgrName-' '- -v -' '- -l --MsgLength-' .- -p yes---. >--+------------+--+----------------+-- -f --FileName---------->< +- -p no----+ '- -s --UserData-' '- -p queue-'
Required parameters
- -q QueueName
- The local name of the destination queue.
- -f FileName
- The name of the file to be transmitted. The fully qualified file name can be specified. If the file name contains embedded spaces, it must be specified in double quotes. One file can be specified only, and we cannot use wildcard characters.
The file is not deleted from it's original location during a send.
Optional parameters
- -m QMgrName
- The name of the queue manager that has access to the file at it's origin. If you omit this parameter, the default queue manager is used.
- -t TargetQMgrName
- The name of the queue manager that hosts the destination queue. If you omit this parameter, the queue manager specified by QMgrName is used.
- -v
- Return the CorrelId of the file.
- -l MessageSize
- The maximum size of a segmented message in bytes.
If a file is too large to be sent as a single message, the file is segmented into a number smaller messages, known as segments, and all these segments are transmitted instead. When all the segments reach their destination, the target queue manager reassembles them to form the original file.
Specify a value between 250 and the queue manager's maximum message length. To determine the maximum message length, use the MQIA_MAX_MSG_LENGTH selector with the MQINQ call.
The default value is 100000.
- -p yes
- Messages are persistent. This is the default value.
- -p no
- Messages are not persistent.
- -p queue
- Messages persistence is defined by the queue.
- -s UserData
- An character string that contains user information relevant to the file being sent. The content of this data is of no significance to the target queue manager.

This command sends a file from the default queue manager, to the queue DEST.Q, located on queue manager QM2:
mqftsndc -q DEST.Q -t QM2 -f "My document.txt"This command sends a non-persistent file from queue manager QM1, to the queue DEST.Q, located on the default queue manager, setting the maximum segment size to 50000 bytes:
mqftsndc -q DEST.Q -m QM1 -l 50000 -p no -f "C:\My Downloads\My document.idd"
