Subcommands unique to iseries FTP Server |
Iseries FTP server subcommands include a special set of commands that are really abbreviated names of equivalent, but longer, iseries Cl commands. the names of these special server subcommands must be four characters to comply with the FTP architecture limits. when the iseries server has es these subcommands, this is how it interprets them:
- ADDM = addpfm (add physical file member)
- addv = addpvlm (add physical file variable length member)
- crtl = crtlib (create Library)
- crtp = crtpf (Create physical file)
- CRTs = crtsrcpf (create Source Physical file)
- dltf = dltf (delete file)
- dltl = dltlib (delete Library)
