Connect:Direct® for UNIX is
distributed on a DVD-ROM. Because the Linux for zSeries operating
system does not support the DVD-ROM drive installation, you must use
ftp to transfer installation files from a UNIX or Microsoft Windows
operating system. To transfer the files from a Microsoft Windows or
UNIX platform to the Linux for zSeries operating system, use the following
procedure:
- Create a temporary directory on the computer running Linux
for zSeries.
- Insert the DVD-ROM into the appropriate drive on the computer
running Microsoft Windows or UNIX and perform one of the following
actions:
- From Microsoft Windows, select Start > Programs > Accessories
> Command Prompt.
- From UNIX, use the mount command to locate the DVD-ROM drive.
- Type the following command, where ip address is the IP
address of the computer running Linux for zSeries:
- At the prompt, type the user name and password for a user
on the computer running Linux for zSeries.
- At the ftp prompt, set the transfer mode to binary by typing
the following command:
- Change to the temporary directory you created on the computer
running Linux for zSeries by typing the following command, where temp_dir is
the directory you created in step 1:
- To copy the installation script from the DVD-ROM to the
computer running Linux for zSeries, perform one of the following actions:
- From Microsoft Windows, type the following command, where x is
the location of the DVD-ROM drive:
put x:\IBMS390_linux\cdinstall cdinstall |
- From UNIX, type the following command:
put /cdrom/IBMS390_linux/cdinstall cdinstall |
- To copy the IBM® Connect:Direct cpio
file from the CD-ROM to the computer running Linux for zSeries, perform
one of the following actions:
- From Microsoft Windows, type the following command, where x is
the location of the DVD-ROM drive:
put x:\IBMS390_linux\cdunix cdunix |
- From UNIX, type the following command:
