Larenzo:

For the systems in the network that I work within, I usually use two 
general methods depending on circumstances.

For simple source file members, when I have the proper 
communications setups available, I'll often use FTS through a PDM 
option. Years ago (like a number of others here), I created a 
command wrapper for QY2FTML to handle the parms. Works very slick 
for PUTs and GETs when available.

For savefile transfers, I almost always have a savefile simply named 
SAVF in my current library. I save whatever needs to be sent into 
SAVF and start FTP. The FTP subcommands are almost always exactly 
the same:

  bin
  na 1
  put savf.savf
  quit

Pretty straightforward. It even auto-creates the savefile in my 
remote current library if I've never done it to there before. I just 
re-use SAVF over and over.
