|
|
BYE
|
Ends the FTP session. If MFFTP does not find a
BYE statement, it inserts one.
|
|
CD
|
Changes directory on remote machine. MFFTP performs a check that "spacey" directory names have been double quoted. If not then it will surround it in double quotes. If single quotes have been used they are replaced with double quotes.
|
|
GET
|
When this is executed, the local name, which would be a mainframe style name, is converted to native format.
If the file does not exist, it is cataloged with the current values as shown by
LOCSTat.
If the file already exists within the catalog, the
REPlace option must be used, and the existing catalog attributes will be used and the existing file overwritten.
|
|
LCD
|
Changes the directory on the local machine. MFFTP performs a check for "spacey" directory names in the same way that
CD does.
|
|
LOCSIte
|
Many of the options of
LOCSIte are not relevant to the
Enterprise Server environment and are ignored.
The following options are supported:
- BLKsize or
BLOCKSize
-
LRecl
- PRImary (space allocation)
-
RECfm
-
SECondary (space allocation)
-
SPACETYPE
-
SBSENDEOL
-
MBSENDEOL
-
SBDATACONN
- MBDATACONN
|
|
LOCSTat
|
Provides a list of the current settings.
|
|
MFFTP_VARS
|
Lists the current settings of all MFFTP variables.
|
|
MGET
|
In order to obtain the list of files to be transferred and cataloged, the utility will attempt to connect to the server to produce a list of matches.
This list will be used to create a series of simple
GET statements.
Note: All files are processed and cataloged with the same attributes.
|
|
MPUT
|
The catalog will be scanned to obtain a list of the files that match the filter criteria. A simple
PUT will be created for each file that matches the criteria.
|
|
OPEN
|
If used, this must be the first statement.
If the
OPEN statement has an IP address or host name, this will be overridden by any on the
EXEC statement.
|
|
PROMPT
|
By default,
MGET or
MPUT prompts for confirmation. If no
PROMPT is seen before an
MGET or
MPUT is encountered, one will be inserted before and after the generated simple statements.
|
|
PUT
|
When this is executed, MFFTP converts the local name, which would be a mainframe style name, to native format.
|
|
QUIT
|
Equivalent to
BYE.
|
|
TYPE
|
The distributed platform expects ASCII or BINARY, while the mainframe allows A (ASCII) and I (BINARY).
MFFTP changes the command as appropriate for the respective platform. Using other values causes an error.
|
|
USER
|
MFFTP requires that you specify a user. If the keyword “USER” is not seen, it is assumed to be either the first (if no OPEN statement found) or second (if OPEN statement found) statement.
