FUSFTP

With the FUSFTP exec, users familiar with the FTP user interface can use the platform server. This exec uses standard FTP parameters and translates these parameters into platform server requests. The GET and PUT requests are translated into the platform server RECEIVE and SEND requests.

The format of the FUSFTP exec is as follows:

FUSFTP ipname ipport

The platform server supports FTP parameters in the same way as they are supported by FTP. For example, the ASCII parameter changes the transfer type to A (text), while the BINARY parameter changes the transfer type to I (image).

The platform server supports the following FTP parameters:
  • APPEND
  • ASCII
  • BINARY
  • BYE
  • CLOSE
  • DEBUG
  • END
  • GET
  • HELP
  • LOCSITE
  • OPEN
  • PASSWORD
  • PUT
  • QUIT
  • RECV
  • SEND
  • SITE
  • STATUS
  • TRACE
  • USER
  • VERBOSE

In addition to the FTP parameters, the platform server also supports some optional parameters with which you can perform functions that are not typically supported by FTP.

The following table lists the optional parameters supported by the FUSFTP exec:

Parameter Description
CONFIG Defines the name of the platform server REXX configuration file from which you can get information about the platform server started task.
Note: This parameter is required only when you want to communicate with a platform server started task other than the default platform server started task.
NODE Informs the platform server that the remote platform server node is defined by a NODE definition.
IPNAME Informs the platform server that the remote platform server node is actually an IP name.
IPPORT Defines the IP Port of the remote platform server system.

The FUSFTP exec supports the platform server User Profile capability. If a remote user is not defined by the USER parameter, the default value *PROFILE which uses the platform server User Profile capability is used. See TIBCO Managed File Transfer Platform Server for z/OS Installation and Operations Guide for more information on platform server user profiles.
