If you are connected to the mainframe using TCP/IP, then "ftp" file
transfer is available. "ftp" (file transfer protocol) is typically quite
fast, reliable and very easy to use. "ftp" is a standard component
in most IBM mainframe TCP/IP packages.

If you are connecting to the host using SNA 3270 sessions, then the
only standard, available PC to mainframe file transfer protocol is
IND$FILE (probably even slower then KERMIT).

There are a number of proprietary file transfer protocols available for 
IBM mainframes. Companies such as Legent Corp., Micro Tempus Inc., 
DEC, and Spectrum Concepts Inc. all make proprietary file transfer
packages which connect an assortment of different microcomputers and
minicomputers to IBM mainframes.
