Using FTP-Stage

Hi !

I have propably the most common configuration of DS, i.e
client + server (UNIX)

I have in my palette the FTP-stage icon, but the
manual says, that it's only for DS for Mainframe.

***

So, can I use this stage for sending a file from UNIX to
IBM/OS390 ? (how?)

Hello,
It should be possible to do that provided you set up the FTP stage properties appropriately. We FTP files from a VMS box into Unix(Solaris) on a daily basis and all we had to do was fill in the blanks literally within the properties tab(s) of the FTP Stage.

Hope this Helps

There IS an FTP stage for server jobs. Perhaps you have not installed it. It's a plug-in (that is, optionally installed) stage.
It is installed on the server using DataStage package installer (which is called dspackinst on UNIX).
