Specify the CCSID (and hence the mapping tables) to be used for the FTP client.
When the *DFT value is not changed, the CCSID value 00819 (ISO 8859-1 8 bit
ASCII) is used. You may also specify a specific CCSID for both inbound and
outbound transfers. The use of CCSIDs is discussed in the
International Application
Development
book.
Notes:
1. Double-byte character set (DBCS) CCSID values are not permitted for the
CCSID parameter on the CHGFTPA command. The DBCS CCSID values can
be specified using the TYPE subcommand.
2. IBM includes mapping support in FTP to ensure compatibility with releases prior
to V3R1. Use of mapping tables for incoming TYPE A file transfers results in the
loss of CCSID tagging if the target file must be created. IBM strongly
recommends that you use CCSID support for normal operations.
Server Time-out Considerations
The inactivity time-out value requires some consideration. This is the time in
seconds without FTP server activity that will cause the server to close the session.
Certain remote servers allow the client to change this value. For example, the
AS/400 supports the FTP server TIME subcommand, which can be sent to the
server with the FTP client QUOTE subcommand. UNIX servers often support the
SITE IDLE subcommand.
When using local AS/400 subcommands with either the SYSCMD subcommand or
F21, there is no interaction between the client and the server. Therefore, if the
running of these local AS/400 commands exceeds the server inactivity time-out
period, the server will close the connection. If you lose your connection, you must
log on to the server again using the OPEN command (OPEN <remote system
name>) and the USER command as described in the note to “Logon to the Remote
System (Server)” on page 239.
