Registration of the management information on the HULFT Management Console

To carry out file transfer in HULFT, register the same File ID on both the host on the sending side and the host on the receiving side. For File ID, specify a string of alphanumeric characters (and "_" if desired) that is within 50 bytes. HULFT transfers files based on the management information associated with the specified File ID.

You must register the File ID on both the host on the sending side (the Send Management Information) and the host on the receiving side (the Receive Management Information) for each file.

Figure 5.3 File ID Overview

Although you must also register the management information other than this File ID, such management information is also managed by ID. The minimum management information required for the host on the sending side and the host on the receiving side during file transfer is shown below. For details on the management information that is necessary for file transfer, refer to the following:
