The Client/Server Component Download panel contains these fields:

Download methods

You have three choices for downloading the WSA installation program.

FTP (requires workstation FTP server)

Download using FTP. ISPF invokes the host FTP client to connect with the FTP server on your workstation and transfer the WSA installation program. This option can be used to download the WSA installation program for the first time. It is described in the topic "Installing the Client/Server component" in the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.

ISPF C/S (requires existing workstation connection)

Download using ISPF Client/Server. If you already have a workstation agent installed on your workstation, you can use the built-in file transfer services to download a new or updated WSA installation program. The file must be downloaded in binary format.

Manual

ISPF tells you the name of the file you need to copy. You can copy it with any method you prefer as long as you maintain the data integrity of the WSA installation program. The file must be downloaded in binary format. This option can be used to download the WSA installation program for the first time. It is described in the topic "Installing the Client/Server component" in the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I.

Workstation type

The workstation agent runs on different workstation platforms and you must indicate which platform you have, so that you receive the correct version.

1. Windows 2000 or NT
2. Reserved
3. AIX®
4. Solaris
5. HP UX

Directory to copy file to

Specify a directory on your workstation where you want to store the WSA installation program. You can specify a full path name or a relative directory, or leave this field blank. If you leave it blank, the download is made to your home directory (in the case of FTP downloads) or the current directory (in the case of client/server downloads). If you specify a relative directory (one that does not start with a drive letter or slash character) the directory is relative to the FTP home directory or the client/server current directory.

Data set to copy file from

The host data set that contains the WSA installation program. This value varies depending on the naming convention that was used when ISPF was installed.

Create directory to which the file is to be copied

If you want ISPF to create the directory on your workstation before copying the WSA installation program, enter a "/" in this field.
