FTP Server Wizard: Welcome
Welcome to the z/OS FTP server configuration wizard.
As you proceed through the wizard, you will use the "Next", "Back" and "Finish" buttons to proceed
through a few basic panels where you will configure:
- The start procedure name of the FTP server.
During the update phase of msys, an FTP server start procedure will be created as a member of a partitioned data set extended
(PDSE). The name of the PDSE is set in the Basic Settings task.
- The member name of the FTP server configuration file.
During the update phase of msys, an FTP configuration file will be created as a member of a partitioned data set extended
(PDSE). The name of the PDSE is set in the Basic Settings task.
- The control connection port. The FTP server will listen for logins on this port.
- Settings for either the Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Kerberos protocols, if security is desired.
- Whether the FTP server initially logs in users to access the z/OS UNIX hierarchical file system (HFS) or to access
MVS data sets.
- Settings for anonymous logins, if anonymous logins are desired.
- Whether FTP server events should be logged using the SYSLOGD deamon.
After completion of the wizard:
- You will have configured a z/OS FTP server that can communicate with
FTP clients, use the TLS or Kerberos security protocols if desired, allow anonymous logins if desired, and
log FTP events if desired.
- You will be able to click on an "Edit..." button to modify the FTP server settings where many more
configuration options are available.
- You will be able to click on a "Report..." button to see the exact FTP.DATA configuration statements,
which will be produced from your entries on the customization panels.
