Use the command line

 

This section describes how to use the File Transfer Application commands directly, without the use of the File Transfer Application GUI. If you want to use the File Transfer Application, your user ID must be a member of the mqm group. For more information about this, see Setup tasks. In addition, note the following environment-specific information:

WebSphere MQ for Windows

All File Transfer Application commands can be issued from a command line. Command names and their flags are not case sensitive: we can enter them in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination of uppercase and lowercase. However, arguments to specify objects (such as queue names) are case sensitive. In the syntax descriptions, the hyphen (-) is used as a flag indicator. We can use the forward slash (/) instead of the hyphen.

WebSphere MQ for Linux (x86 platform)

All File Transfer Application commands can be issued from a shell. All commands are case-sensitive.

The control commands available with the File Transfer Application follow:
