  • Is Your File Transfer Still Active?

    February 25, 2004 Hey, Doug

    Recently I was FTPing a large file from my AS/400 to a remote site. Upon returning from a long meeting, I found my 5250 session had locked up, and I had no idea of the status of my file transfer. I had to resend my file, which took hours. A colleague said there is a way on the AS/400 to check file transfers, but I could not find the command. Please help!

    –Cathy

    Great question, Cathy. This happened to me recently when I was required to send IBM a large file. Because of network issues, our local area network was having problems and I lost all of my Rumba sessions. “Bytes transferred” was no longer incrementing.

    To view the status of ingoing and outgoing data transfers, via TCP/IP, use the command NETSTAT.

    Upon entering NETSTAT, the “Work with TCP/IP Network Status” screen appears.

    Enter option 3 to look at the connection status screen.

    Next, simply press “F11=Display byte counts” to show each connection byte count (in and out).

    Upon paging down to my desired connection, I was able to simply press the refresh key to obtain the status of my file transfer. It was on this screen that I saw my “bytes out” increasing. At that point, I knew my file transfer was still active.
