Some additional ideas on this topic of 'drag and drop' of files between two
HP3000's:
a. SAMBA shares on both systems may provide what you want.
b. Depending on the file codes and label information (IMAGE datasets for
example) you may want to use store to disc to preserve this information,
then transfer that file. This also eliminates the MPUT, MGET issues.
c. If you have MPEX, this product has a wildcard DSCOPY function. This has
no bearing on 'drag and drop' but between HP3000s, DSCOPY is generally going
to be the most efficient method.
d. One can achieve point and click FTP with the use of a .bat file and a -s
file for example if you have a shortcut to ftp.bat on the desktop then one
can stream a job on an hp3000 without a terminal session. This is useful for
both file transfers and simple report requests.
