The Work With RSF Servers (WRKRSFSRV) command is used to work with a list of RSF servers, or to print a list of RSF servers. You make servers known to your machine by adding server directory entries.
The server directory on your machine functions like an on-line phone book. You can store phone numbers and other connection information in the server directory so you don't have to key it in with every request.
See Adding Server Directory Entries for more information about the details of server directory entries.
While working with servers, you can easily add, remove, change, copy, and rename server directory entries. You can also work with catalogs of RSF packages that are available from each server.
In addition, the Work With Servers display provides a convenient point from which you can initiate requests to remote machines to start pass-through, or transmit objects and files.
The prompted version of the WRKRSFSRV command is shown below.
