FTP server subcommand
To specify how to you want
bits of data transmitted, specify the mode, or data format, by using the MODE
FTP server subcommand:
- B
- Specifies block mode. In this mode, data is a series of data blocks, preceded
by one or more header bytes.
- S
- Specifies stream mode. In this mode, data a stream of bytes. You can use
any representation type with stream mode. This transfer mode is more efficient
because the server does not transfer any data block information.
Notes: - Stream mode is the default transfer mode the iSeries™ server uses and is the preferred
mode.
- If there is no parameter, the server returns a reply that indicates the
present setting for MODE.
