How do I get .traw output using .bed .bim and .fam files in PLINK?

I'm new to using PLINK 1.9 and need to get .traw files as output. I have minvcf files ending in .bed .bim and .fam.

I understand I need to use '--recode A' and to put '-transpose' at the end of the command and include a '--geno 0.99975' flag, but I'm not sure of the PLINK syntax to begin with. I'm using an ssh connection to a dbgap server. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It was easier than I thought. This worked, just for reference:

/u0/PLINK/plink-1.90beta3.31/plink --bfile filename --geno 0.99975 --recode A-transpose --out filename_recode
