Transferring Files Using FTP
v
v
InactTime
DataCtTime
The value specified with the TIMEOUT operand is applied to each previously
listed timing parameter. If individual timeout values are required, these can be
specified in an FTP data file. For more information about this file and timeout
parameters and defaults, see “The FTP DATA File” on page 19.
Numeric values between 15 and 720 are accepted for the TIMEOUT parameter.
Note: If the TIMEOUT operand value is not valid, FTP ignores that value and
uses the default values established for each timeout parameter.
TRACe
Starts the generation of tracing output. TRACE is used to assist in debugging.
Trace data is written to the console.
TRANslate filename
The file name of a translation table file other than a standard table. The file
type is TCPXLBIN, and the file mode is an asterisk (*). If this parameter is not
specified, the FTP command searches sequentially for FTP TCPXLBIN and
STANDARD TCPXLBIN. If neither is found, FTP uses the compiled translation
table.
Note: The FTP TCPXLBIN file is not supplied, because the standard translation
table is adequate for most uses. You can create your own FTP
TCPXLBIN file if your installation needs a translation for FTP that
differs from the translation supported by STANDARD TCPXLBIN. For
more information on translation tables see Chapter 15, “Using
Translation Tables” on page 277.

If LOADDBCSTABLE is specified in FTP DATA, then filename is used to
determine which DBCS translation table to load. See TCP/IP Planning and
Customization for information on the loading and customizing of DBCS
translation tables.
WIDth width
Specifies the maximum width to use for lines written to the console by FTP.
Data that is longer than the specified width is wrapped to successive lines, as
necessary. The minimum acceptable width is 1, while the maximum is 32767.
The default for width is 80. When a FILEDEF is used to control FTP command
output, the WIDTH option is ignored.
Usage Notes
v
v
If the specified foreign_host is not accessible, or this operand has not been
correctly specified, the FTP subcommand environment is established, but no
foreign host connection exists. When this occurrs, the OPEN, USER, PASS, and
ACCT subcommands can be used to establish a connection and log in as
desired.
If FTP can establish a connection to the specified foreign host and a valid entry
for that host is present in a NETRC DATA file, by default, FTP uses that host’s
user name and password to logon to that host. Otherwise, you are prompted for
this information, unless the NOPROMPT command option has been specified to
suppress prompting.
