First, ensure communications are set correctly by utilizing the SNDNETMSG (Send Network Message) command to send a test message prior to transferring the spooled file.

2. Type "1" next to the spooled file you wish to send and press Enter.
3. Type the User ID. This will be the user you wish to send the spooled file to.
4. Type the name of the machine that the spooled file will be sent to.
