Error description

• Windows XP
  Pcomm6.0 CSD#5
  OS/400 V7R1
  
  This customer has configured the Enterprise Extender connection.
  When they push the button of the data transmission "to the
  host", the data transmission protocol in the generated window
  will choose TCPIP by default. In the case of "from the host",
  SNA was selected by default. They think SNA should be chosen
  for both.

  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When a user opens the Data Transfer utility (also called
  iSeries-PC Transfer Utility) to upload files to a 5250 host
  from a emulator session that is connected using SNA, the
  incorrect protocol is selected by default. The selection of
  the protocol should be based on the active connection with
  the host (TCP/IP or SNA).
  

Problem conclusion

• PCSAFT.DLL has been changed to detect the active connection
  protocol when the user starts the Data Transfer utility from
  the emulator session so the correct transfer protocol is pre-
  selected in the utility.
