Chapter 6. Remote Services
Remote Upload/Download
This chapter tells you how to use the
VM/PC
Remote
Services to access a remote VM system.
VM/PC
provides
Remote Services that enable you
to
use the resources
of
a
remote
VM system in a number of ways. With the 3277-2
Coaxial Connection, your
VM/PC
will appear as a 3277
terminal
to
the remote
VM
system. This enables you to use
the
VM/PC
as a 3277-like terminal and, in conjunction with
the
VM/PC
Remote Services Program, provides you with
the functions described below.
With the 3277-2 Coaxial Connection,
VM/PC
provides the
following services:
1.
Remote 3277 Session - This
is
the ability to
LOGON
to
a remote VM system. You can use a Remote 3277
Session concurrently with a Local 3277 Session (for
example, while you are editing a local file in the Local
Session you can
be
compiling a program in parallel
on
the Remote Session). We describe the Remote 3277
Session in greater detail in the following section.
2. Remote Minidisks - When you are in a Local Session,
you can LINK
and
ACCESS any CMS format minidisk
that
exists
on
the remote VM system that you are
connected
to
(assuming you know the appropriate
minidisk addresses
and
passwords). Even though these
disks are not local to you,
both
you and your
applications can utilize these disks as if they were in fact
local.
3. Remote Files - When you have linked to, and accessed,
remote minidisks, you can access files
on
those disks as
if the files were indeed local
to
your
VM/PC.
4. Remote Printers - The Remote Services program allows
you
to
use your remote
VM
system printers as
VM/PC
printers.
For
example, if your installation has defined
Class K as the print class for
an
IBM 3800 printer, then
