Terminating a NetEx/eFT SessionTo end an interactive NetEx/eFT session type EXIT:eFT> exitEXIT will disconnect all connections to remote hosts and terminate the current NetEx/eFT session. Any localor remote files that had been opened will be closed. The QUIT command also may be used to terminate aninteractive session. Refer to “Command Descriptions” on page 115 for more details on EXIT and QUIT.Establishing a Connection to a Remote HostIn order to transfer files or execute commands on another host, a network connection must be established.This connection provides a link between the NetEx/eFT Initiator on the local host and the NetEx/eFT Responderon the remote host. There are three ways to make a connection to a remote host; the CONNECTcommand or the LOGIN and LOGON aliases.Using CONNECT to Establish a ConnectionThe CONNECT command allows a user to login to a remote host. The basic format of the command is:CommandCONnectParametershost userid password [parameters]Where:hostuseridpasswordparametersis the name of a remote host as defined in the local network.is the user name or ID describing a valid user account on that host.is the associated password needed to login to userid.indicates additional parameters that may be required by the remote host at login time.Below is an example CONNECT where the host name is ‘sunburn’, the userid is ‘guest’, and the password is‘netex’:eFT> connect sunburn guest netexeFT: Connected to Service Initiator on host 'sunburn'.======================================================================Last login: Thu Apr 5 10:23:08 2012Sun Microsystems Inc. SunOS 5.10 Generic January 2005======================================================================eFT: Logged in as user 'guest'.eFT: Connected to service '32868' on host 'sunburn'.Following a successful CONNECT, NetEx/eFT returns several informative messages, the exact syntax ofwhich depends upon the host to which a connection is being made. The first message above indicates that aninitial network connection was established to the NetEx/eFT Responder (Service Initiator or service ‘EFT’).Following that message are several lines of information surrounded by equal signs (===). The informationbetween the equal signs is returned by the remote operating system at login time. This information is not necessarilyimportant to NetEx/eFT but may be to the user logging in. Next is a NetEx/eFT message indicatingthat a successful login has completed. Finally a message may appear that informs the user of the name of thenetwork service handling the connection.Page 18 IBM z/OS Local User’s Guide REF-eFT213-R5.4-08
