Are there any possible ways to transfer a dataset from mainframe to host without using the FTP? I dont want to use the option 6 from the ISPF screen.

I want to write a JCL that transfers a dataset from mainframe to host but not by executing the fTP proc. Are there any possible ways
 

NDM?

By the way, if you're not interested in using REXX, why is this is the REXX forum?

If you have XCOM that will do it.

So will most terminal emulators (RUMBA for sure has FTP)

If you have MQ Series you could use it if you wrote some code.

What is the real requirement? To FTP in a REXX exec?
 
What is the host? Is it another mainframe? Is there network connectivity between the systems?
 
I want to know whether the process of exporting a dataset to a notepad is possible through REXX without executing the proc FTP through JCL.

I want to export the dataset to a notepad. I know this is possible through ISPF functions, but i want to run it in batch by executing a REXX in batch.
 
I want to know is there any possible ways to do without using FTP process because FTP process requires to set up some user profiles.
 
You can use the ISPF Workstation (WSA) Services in either the foreground or in batch. You can also always use REXX TCP/IP sockets if you have a listener available on the (I'm using your term here) "host".

How about transporting the data within an email stream as a file attachment (using SMTP and MIME protocols)?
 
Can you please explain me what is this WSA service. I am hearing it for the first time.
