Minimum Transfer Parameters

You must supply at least the following parameters when you run the cfsend or cfrecv command.

Parameter (Alternate Specification) Description
LocalFileName (lf) Defines the name of the local file you want to transfer.
Node (n) Defines the name of the node to or from which you perform the transfer.

The valid values are N or the name of the node.

For more information, see Transfers Using Nodes.

Password (pwd) Defines the password for the remote user ID.
This password is used by the remote system to validate if the user has credentials to access the remote file.
Note: This field must be left blank when you define verified users.
RemoteFileName (rf) Defines the name of the file or data set at the remote location.
Note: When specifying the remote file name on a command line:
  • If a backslash (\) is used in the file name, such as in a file transfer to a Windows system, you must enclose the remote file name in double quotation marks ("").
  • If you use a member name, such as in a data set transfer to a mainframe system, you must enclose the entire data set in double quotation marks (""). Otherwise, you must use backslashes before the parentheses (()).
UserId (uid) Defines the remote user ID for the file transfer.
Note: This ID must exist in the remote system and have permission to access a remote file.
For Windows security systems, you can use the format domain\\username or domain/username. If this parameter is not specified, TIBCO MFT Platform Server treats the user as a verified user (*VER).
