SITE (Send Information Used by a Remote System)

FTP client subcommand

To send information that is used by the remote system to provide services specific to the remote system, use the SITE FTP client subcommand in this format:

SIte [parameters]

parameters
Dependent on the remote system.

To find the nature of these parameters and their syntax specifications, issue the HELP SERVER SITE subcommand. Some FTP servers do not support the SITE subcommand.

Note: The SITE subcommand is used by the PUT and MPUT subcommands to indicate the format and length of the records. By default, the PUT subcommand sends a SITE subcommand automatically. The NAMEFMT subcommand uses the SITE subcommand to indicate to the server whether names are in NAMEFMT 0 or NAMEFMT 1.
