GET Alias CommandDescriptionThe GET alias command receives the source file from the current active remote host and saves it as a destinationfile on the local host. If no path to the file is specified on the source or destination file (i.e., if a file nameis given without a directory or device specification), the default remote and local directories are used respectively.That is, the source file is assumed to exist in the remote default directory, and the newly received filewill be created in the local default directory. If the destination parameter is not specified at all, a file by thesame name as the source file name will be created in the local default directory.The source file name may include the NetEx/eFT wildcard characters “*” and “?”, as well as host specificwildcard characters where the two do not conflict. See the discussion on NetEx/eFT wildcarding in ““SourceWildcard Support for IBM z/OS File Transfers” on page 54 for further details.FormatCommand Qualifiers ParametersGETsource [destination]Where:GETsourcedestinationExamples(required) the verb for this command.
