Migration considerations
The V1R5 level of Communications Server IP Services introduces customization for FTP servers and FTP clients. The FTP server customization replaces the FTP task from V1R4 and previous releases. FTP client customization is new in V1R5.


Description
The IP Configuration service helps z/OS customers configure TCP/IP on their z/OS systems (z/OS V1R2 and above). It handles general IP definitions such as host name and domain origin.  Customers can also use it to configure domain name servers, network connections, ports, TN3270 server, FTP servers, and FTP clients. The plug-in does not read configuration parameters from existing TCP/IP configuration files.
