Receiving a file

 

This task shows how to receive a file from another destination using the File Transfer Application GUI. We can also receive files from the command line, or shell, by using mqftrcv on a WebSphere MQ server, or mqftrcvc 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 Receive tab.

  3. Click the Files from drop-down list to display the source where the file to be received is held, for example: SOURCE.AT.SHOWROOM.

  4. Select the source to display the files stored there.

  5. Select the file to receive, for example: Stocks 14 Aug 03.doc.

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

The selected file is received, and an icon representing the file is automatically displayed on the desktop. Double-click the icon to view the file. We can also check that the file was received by looking in the Session log.
