Copy an FTP Server

Use this panel to configure a z/OS FTP server when you want to base its configuration on an existing FTP server. All settings for the new server will be identical to the old server except for the control connection port, the start procedure name, and the configuration file member name.

An FTP server configuration file and start procedure will be created as members of partitioned data set extend (PDSE) during the msys update phase. The PDSE name was assigned in the Basic settings task.

Steps

  1. Enter the control connection port number.
  2. Enter the server's start procedure name.
  3. Enter the member name for the new server configuration file.
  4. Click "OK" when you are done.

You have completed this panel after you have entered the server's control port number, the server's configuration file PDSE member name, and the server's start procedure name.
