General Options
Select general transfer options.
ASCII—Translates an ASCII (PC character set) file to an EBCDIC (IBM host character set) file.
CRLF—Translates Carriage-Return Linefeed (CR-LF) end-of-line characters to records on the host file system. This option is normally required when transferring text files.

Convert CC—Converts host carriage control to PC carriage control. This option is available only for downloads.
Upload Options
File Format—Select general upload options.
- LRECL—Sets the logical record size for the file that you send to the host.
- BLKSIZE—Sets the block size for the file that you send to a host. This option is valid only for MVS.
Record Format—Select general recording options.
- Default—Indicates to the host portion of the file transfer to use the default record format.
- Fixed —Uploads the file to a fixed record format file.
- Variable—Uploads the file to a Variable Record Format file. Use the variable record format if you are transferring a binary file (such as a program file, EXE, COM, DLL, and so on) and you want to preserve the exact file size.
Custom Options
Custom Options—Specifies other operating system-specific options that are not directly supported by this dialog box. You must specify custom options in the appropriate format for the specific operating system. You can not edit these parameters. HostExplorer appends these parameters directly to the file transfer command.
