z/VM: TCP/IP User's Guide - z/VM - IBM

Chapter 2. Transferring Files Using FTP
This chapter describes how to use the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) command and
its subcommands to transfer files between your local host and a foreign TCP/IP
host. The FTP command and its subcommands, allow you to sequentially access
multiple foreign hosts without leaving the FTP environment.
When FTP commands are used with a non-z/VM foreign host, you may need to
consult documentation specific to that host and its operating system for
information about file naming and supported FTP commands and parameters.
The following table lists general operations and FTP subcommands that correspond
to these functions:
