  • you have read access to the MVS™ data base where the ISPF Client/Server Component is stored; and
  • The directory where you want to copy the component exists, OR you have selected the Create directory option on the previous panel.

  2. Complete the fields on this panel with the appropriate information:
    IP Address or Host Name to OPEN
    The dotted IP address or name of the workstation ID to which you want to copy the ISPF Workstation Agent installation program.
    User to login
    The file transfer protocol (FTP) user name. This name must have write access to the directory where the ISPF Workstation Agent code will be installed and is case sensitive.
    Password for login
    The password for the user ID you want to use at the FTP server. You can leave this field blank if the user id is "anonymous", but be aware that most FTP servers expect a password, even if only an e-mail address.
    Browse FTP output only if an error occurs
    You can choose to display FTP output only if something wrong happens. Enter "/" in this field to have the option active. If you do not choose this option, ISPF displays all output from the FTP transfer.
  3. Press Enter to process this panel.

    If you chose not to override the ISPF default concerning display of FTP output, your screen will now show that output. Press Enter to proceed to the next download panel.

    If you chose to browse the FTP output only if an error occurs, and there is an error, the error information is displayed. If no error occurred, you proceed to the next download panel.

    After a successful FTP download, this panel appears on your screen, telling you to complete the installation from your workstation:
