Well, Currently I use NFT...
But old days with serial connection only
I made a trick to download file to server overnight

1. JOB stream like this
!JOB JobName,userName.acctName,groupName;INPRI=10;OUTCLASS=LP,1,1;SPSAVE
!STARTSESS
Ldn;XFER,userName/Pwd.AcctName,GroupName;PRI=CS;NOWAIT;INFO=DOWNALOAD
!EOJ

Ldn is serial connection with minisoft logical device number, before this
job will stream
You logon PC server and terminal emulator is ready for

2. INFO Down load in Group Like this
PCD.PUB MpeFile1.groupName \\ServerName\Path\FileName1.TXT
PCD.PUB MpeFile2.groupName \\ServerName\Path\FileName2.TXT
PCD.PUB MpeFile3.groupName \\ServerName\Path\FileName3.TXT

3. PCD.PUB is command file like this
PARM hostf=" ",locf=" ",recsize="80",type="ASCII"
setvar esc CHR(27) + "&oC"
setvar ftc "LOCF "+"!locf"
echo !esc!ftc
input cc
setvar ftc "HOSTF " + "!hostf"
echo !esc!ftc
input cc
setvar ftc "!type"
echo !esc!ftc
setvar ftc "DOWNLOAD"
echo !esc!ftc
setvar ftc "RECSIZE " + "!recsize"
echo !esc!ftc
setvar hprog " "
while hprog = " " do
input hprog
endwhile
!hprog
input cc
echo File transfer complete

But my recommedation is NFT or FTP
This is only you have serial line from DTC.
Good Luck

Is there a way to do a file transfer in a job using Minisoft?  I need to
transfer ASCII data files from the HP3000 to our network using a batch job.

Thanks,
