Translation: Control Connection

Use this panel to specify the translation option for the control connection.

Translation is performed for FTP commands and replies sent over the control connection.

Before you begin, you should understand:

Translation options for the control connection:

  1. Select "Use defaults", to indicate FTP should use the default search order to locate the translation table. The search order for the translation table differs between an FTP server and an FTP client.

    FTP Server
    1. Original_jobname.SRVRFTP.TCPXLBIN
    2. hlq.SRVRFTP.TCPXLBIN
    3. Original_jobname.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN
    4. hlq.STANDARD.TCPXLBIN
    5. (7-bit ASCII) - FTP uses ISO8859-1 for the network code page and IBM-1047 for the file system code page
    6. Internal (hard-coded) 7-bit tables
    FTP Client
  2. Select "Use the internal FTP translate table" to use the FTP internal translation tables. The FTP internal tables are the same tables that are shipped in the TCPXLBIN(STANDARD) data set.
  3. Select "Use iconv ISO8859-1 encoded character set" to specify that the iconv ISO8859-1 character set should be used for the network code page. IBM-1047 is used for the file system code page.
  4. Select "Use translation table created by user" to specify a data set that contains translation tables used by FTP. This data set must be created using the CONVXLAT utility.
  5. Select "Use the following iconv encoded character set:" to enter any single byte iconv code page for the network code page. IBM-1047 will be used for the file system code page.

Steps

  1. Select which option should be used for translation.
  2. If you select "Use iconv ISO8859-1 encoded character set", and want to use UTF-8 support, check the box labeled "Allow UTF-8 pathnames".
  3. If you select "Use translation table created by user", enter the location of your table.
  4. if you select "Use the following iconv encoded character set:", enter the iconv code page.

You have completed this panel after selecting the translation option and entering the translation table or code page, if applicable.
