Before you begin
You need to create a connection to a remote system.
Procedure
To connect to a remote system:
- Open the Remote Systems view.
- Right-click and select Connect.
- On the Connect to System window, type
your user ID and password.
- Optional: To save your user ID and password
click the Save user ID and Save
password check boxes.
Note: The Save
password check box can be disabled. See the related topics
for more information.
- Optional: If the remote system is configured
to secure the connection using SSL, the Import Host Certificate window
opens. Click Finish to import the host certificate
and complete the connection. This window opens the first
time you attempt to connect to a remote system secured with SSL. Subsequent
connections use the imported host certificate. When a remote system
connection is secured using SSL, the Properties view
for the MVS Files subsystem displays SSL Enabled.
What to do next
Note: System administrators can configure remote systems
to automatically disconnect users after a period of inactivity. Contact
your system administrator if you have any questions about maintaining
an active connection to a remote system.
