ACCT (Send Account Information)

FTP client subcommand

Some systems require account information to enable certain system functions. The remote system prompts you for such information. To send account information, use the Account (ACCT) FTP client subcommand:

account-information

A string that identifies the user's account. Account information can take the form of a password that the host system uses to grant privileges. This password is not your user password, but rather it is a password on the remote system.

For example, TCP/IP on the IBM^® Virtual Machine (VM) Operating System might require a password for read and write access to minidisks. Use the ACCT subcommand to supply a password for the minidisk of the current directory. If the remote system is an iSeries™, the ACCT subcommand performs no operation.
