Connecting to a remote system server

After you create a connection to an IBM® z/OS® system by using the Remote System Explorer (RSE), you can connect to the remote system server.

Procedure

To connect to the remote system server, complete the following steps:

  1. Change to the RSE perspective.
  2. In the Remote Systems view, double-click the z/OS connection to activate.
  3. Right-click the z/OS UNIX Files subsystem node.
  4. Select Connect.

    The daemon port that you specified on the Connection Configuration window is used to start the remote system server for the connection.

    Tip: When you expand a file filter within the Files subsystem, RSE automatically attempts to establish a connection to the remote system server. The first time that you attempt to access a folder on the remote system, you might be prompted for your user ID and password.
