Sending a file

 

This task shows you how to send a file to another destination using the File Transfer Application GUI. We can also send files from the command line, or shell, by using mqftsnd on a WebSphere MQ server, or mqftsndc on a WebSphere MQ client, see Using the command line.

  1. Start the File Transfer Application by issuing the control command mqftapp, or by selecting it through the start menu.

  2. Click the Send tab.

  3. Click the Browse button.

  4. In the browser dialog, select the file to transfer, then click OK.

  5. In the Comments field, type any accompanying comments. This field can be used to help identify different versions of the same file, for example: Week 3 sales - version 2.

  6. In the Destination pane, click the required destination, for example: DESTINATION.AT.HEAD.OFFICE.

  7. Click Send.

  8. Look for confirmation that the file was sent in the Show files sent and received list.

The File Transfer Application transfers the specified file to the selected location. We can check that the file was sent by looking in the Session log.
