Hello there,
I'm trying to upload a file to an IBM MVS mainframe using K-95 V2.1.2, where the
file is stored as a "data set".
The full name of the data set (and hence, the file), is something like this:
D123.XXXXXX.YYYYYY.20071029.1
The little I understand of these data sets, is that the '.' characters denote
the equivalent of directory levels.
I log in with FTP, nothing special is reported:
---8<---
[C:\] K-95> ftp ftp.mvsserver.com
Connected to ftp.mvsserver.com.
D610TES is logged on. Working directory is "D123.".
Switching Locus to REMOTE for file management commands
such as CD, DIRECTORY, DELETE, RENAME. Type HELP SET
LOCUS at the K-95> prompt for further info. Use the
SET LOCUS command to disable automatic locus switching
or to disable these queries.
OK to switch Locus?y
Restart requires Block or Compressed transfer mode.
Remote system type is MVS.
Default transfer mode is TEXT ("ASCII")
[C:\] K-95>
---8<---
After that, I just run the put command to upload the file:
---8<---
[C:\] K-95> put D123.XXXXXX.YYYYYY.20071029.1

Why are the first '.' characters in the filename converted to '_'?
If that is the root problem here, then how do I tell Kermit not to change the
filename?
If anyone has an idea how to solve this, I would gladly hear your suggestions.
