# 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).
