The following tables list parameters supported for the cfprofile command.

Required Local Profile Parameters

Note: If any of the required parameters is not defined and the prompt parameter is set to No, the cfprofile command fails.

The following table lists the required parameters for the cfprofile command.

Parameter (Alternate Specification) Description
Node (n) Defines the name of the node with which the local profile is associated.
Note: The node name is not case sensitive. The node must already exist so you can successfully add or update a local profile.
Password (p) Defines the password used to log on to the node (remote system).
User (u) Defines the user name used to log on to the node (remote system).
Note: If the node is a Windows system, the domain must also be specified using either of the following formats: domain\\username or domain/username. The maximum length of the defined value is 64 characters.

Optional Local Profile Parameters

Note: The cfprofile command does not require any of the optional parameters to be defined if the prompt parameter is set to No.

The following table lists the optional parameters for the cfprofile command.

Parameter (Alternate Specification) Description
Action (a) Defines the action you want to take.

The valid values are: Delete, List, or Add.

LocalUser (l | luser) Defines the identity of a different local user in the local system.
For example, if user A has defined this parameter, user A can add a user profile for user B without having to log on as user B.
Note: Only the root account or members of the cfadmin group can use this option.
When the LocalUser parameter is not defined, the prompt parameter is set to YES, and you log on as the root account or a member of the cfadmin group, you are prompted whether you want to define another local user.

If this parameter is set to *ALL, this local profile can be used by all local users who want to perform transfers with the defined node.

Prompt Defines whether to activate the cfprofile command to an interactive mode.
The valid values are:
  • YES: cfprofile prompts you for all required information to create or update a local profile. This is the default value.
    Note: You are prompted as to whether you want to create cfprofile.cfg when it is not found.
  • No: if you do not want to be prompted, you can set this parameter to No.
