SENDSITE (Specify Whether to Send a SITE Subcommand)

FTP client subcommand

To specify whether a SITE subcommand with record format information is automatically sent when doing a PUT or an MPUT operation, enter the SENDSITE FTP client subcommand in this format:

SENDSite [ 0 | 1 ]

If there is no parameter, SENDSITE works like a toggle switch. The SENDSITE value changes from 0 (OFF) to 1 (ON) or from 1 to 0.

When there is a parameter, the valid values are:

0
Do not send a SITE subcommand. This is the default.
1
Send a SITE subcommand (containing record format information) before sending PUT and MPUT subcommands. Use this setting when transferring files to an IBM® Virtual Machine server that uses the record format information that sends with the SITE subcommand.
