CL Command List > FTP Reference
Description:
The Start TCP/IP File Transfer Protocol (STRTCPFTP) command is used to start the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client application that transfers files between systems using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). FTP is an application protocol used for transferring files to and from a remote system. FTP requires a user ID, and in some cases a password, to gain access to files on a remote system.
Mapping Parameters: Mapping of data is used for all data (for example, user data and protocol data information) between the local and remote systems, except when the EBCDIC subcommand or the BINARY subcommand is in effect. In these cases, mapping of user file data is not done.
The Change FTP Attributes (CHGFTPA) command can be used to specify server mapping tables for FTP.
Examples:
None.
