Configure FTP servers for graphical FTP clients and Web tools

You can configure an File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server on the iSeries™ to support graphical FTP clients, Web browsers, and other Web tools.

Most graphical FTP clients use UNIX^® as their list format and path file as their file name format. Follow these instructions to set the FTP server properties to use the supported formats:

In the iSeries Navigator, expand your iSeries server > Network > Servers > TCP/IP.
In the right pane, right-click FTP and select Properties.
On the Properties page, click the Initial Formats tab.
- Enable Path as the File Naming Format.
- Enable UNIX list format as the File List Format.
Note: You can control the LISTFMT and NAMEFMT settings for specific FTP sessions using an exit program for the TCPL0200 format or TCPL0300 format of the FTP Server Logon Exit Point.

You can also change the list format after an FTP session is in progress with options for the FTP server SITE (Send Information Used by a Server System) subcommand. These settings control the results returned by the LIST (File List) and NLST (Name List) FTP server subcommands.
