Drag-and-Drop Options for Sending to an AS/400

From the Transfer dialog box, you can drag a PC file to a host library, a file, or a member (by clicking Settings, then from the Options tab, under To host, making sure that the value for Objects is appropriate).

Following are the possible scenarios:

  • PC file to host library

    In the Objects box

    This occurs

    If you select Create File and Member

    A new host file is created.

    If you don't select Create File and Member, and a host file with the same name as the PC file already exists

    You are asked whether you would like to overwrite the file.

    If you don't select Create File and Member, and no host file of the same name as the PC file exists

    You receive an error message, and the transfer fails.

  • PC file to host file

    When you select, in the Objects box

    This occurs

    Create Member

    A new member is created.

    Replace Member (Confirm) or Replace Member (Don't Confirm)

    The existing member of the same name as the PC file is overwritten.

    If no member of the same name exists, you receive an error message, and the transfer fails.

    This occurs

    Replace Member (Confirm)

    The existing member is overwritten, without asking you to confirm the overwrite action.
