XX_SH(File Transfer)
The XX_FB(Transfer()) action implements XX_FB(IND$FILE) file transfer.
This action requires that the XX_FB(IND$FILE)
program be installed on the XX_SM(IBM) host, and that the 3270 cursor
be located in a field that will accept a XX_SM(TSO) or XX_SM(VM/CMS) command.

can be entered at the XX_FB(XX_PRODUCT>) prompt with no parameters, which will cause it
to prompt interactively for the file names and options.
It can also be invoked with parameters to define the entire transfer.

XX_LP
Because of the complexity and number of options for file transfer, the
parameters to the XX_FB(Transfer()) action can take the unique form
of XX_FI(option)=XX_FI(value).
They can also be given with their parameters separately.
Options can appear in any order.
Note that if the XX_FI(value) contains spaces (such as a VM/CMS file name),
then the entire parameter must be quoted, e.g., XX_FB("hostfile=xxx foo a").
With sequential options, this would be XX_FB(`hostfile,"xxx foo a"').
The options are:

The option details are as follows.
XX_TPS()dnl
XX_TP(XX_FB(direction))
XX_FB(send) to send a file to the host,
XX_FB(receive) to receive a file from the host.
XX_TP(XX_FB(hostfile))
The name of the file on the host.
XX_TP(XX_FB(localfile))
The name of the file on the local workstation.
XX_TP(XX_FB(host))
The type of host (which dictates the form of the XX_FB(IND$FILE) command):
XX_FB(tso) (the default), XX_FB(vm) or XX_FB(cics).
XX_TP(XX_FB(mode))
Use XX_FB(ascii) (the default) for a text file, which will be translated
between XX_SM(EBCDIC) and XX_SM(ASCII) as necessary.
Use XX_FB(binary) for non-text files.
XX_TP(XX_FB(cr))
Controls how newline characters are handled when transferring
XX_FB(mode=ascii) files.
XX_FB(remove) (the default) strips newline characters in local files
before transferring them to the host.
XX_FB(add) adds newline characters to each host file record before
transferring it to the local workstation.
XX_FB(keep) preserves newline characters when transferring a local file
to the host.
XX_TP(XX_FB(remap))
Controls text translation for XX_FB(mode=ascii) files.
The value XX_FB(yes) (the default) causes XX_PRODUCT to remap the text to ensure
maximum compatibility between the workstation's character set and encoding
and the host's XX_SM(EBCDIC) code page.
The value XX_FB(no) causes XX_PRODUCT to pass the text to or from the host
as-is, leaving all translation to the XX_FB(IND$FILE) program on the host.
XX_TP(XX_FB(exist))
Controls what happens when the destination file already exists.
XX_FB(keep) (the default) preserves the file, causing the
XX_FB(Transfer()) action to fail.
XX_FB(replace) overwrites the destination file with the source file.
XX_FB(append) appends the source file to the destination file.
XX_TP(XX_FB(recfm))
Controls the record format of files created on the host.
(XX_SM(TSO) and XX_SM(VM) hosts only.)
XX_FB(fixed) creates a file with fixed-length records.
XX_FB(variable) creates a file with variable-length records.
XX_FB(undefined) creates a file with undefined-length records (XX_SM(TSO) hosts
only).
The XX_FB(lrecl) option controls the record length or maximum record length for
XX_FB(recfm=fixed) and XX_FB(recfm=variable) files, respectively.
XX_TP(XX_FB(lrecl))
Specifies the record length (or maximum record length) for files created on
the host.
(XX_SM(TSO) and XX_SM(VM) hosts only.)
XX_TP(XX_FB(blksize))
Specifies the block size for files created on the host.
(XX_SM(TSO) and XX_SM(VM) hosts only.)
XX_TP(XX_FB(allocation))
Specifies the units for the XX_FB(primaryspace) and
XX_FB(secondaryspace) options: XX_FB(tracks), XX_FB(cylinders) or
XX_FB(avblock). (XX_SM(TSO) hosts only.)
XX_TP(XX_FB(primaryspace))
Primary allocation for a file.
The units are given by the XX_FB(allocation) option.
Required when the XX_FB(allocation) is specified as something other than
XX_FB(default).
(XX_SM(TSO) hosts only.)
XX_TP(XX_FB(secondaryspace))
Secondary allocation for a file.
The units are given by the XX_FB(allocation) option. (XX_SM(TSO) hosts only.) 
XX_TP(XX_FB(avblock))
Average block size, required when XX_FB(allocation) specifies XX_FB(avblock).
(XX_SM(TSO) hosts only.)
XX_TP(XX_FB(buffersize))
Buffer size for DFT-mode transfers.
Can range from 256 to 32768.
Larger values give better performance, but some hosts may not be able to
support them.
ifelse(XX_PLATFORM,windows,`XX_TP(XX_FB(windowscodepage))
Overrides the workstation code page used for XX_SM(ASCII) file transfers.
By default, the system XX_SM(ANSI) code page is used.

There are also resources that control the default values for each of the
file transfer parameters.
These resources have the same names as the XX_FB(Transfer()) keywords, but with
XX_FB(ft) prepended and the option name capitalized. E.g., the default for the XX_FB(mode) keyword is the
XX_FB(XX_PRODUCT.ftMode) resource.
