Directory Change Messages

Use this panel to specify file names containing messages displayed to clients when changing directories during an FTP session.

Before you begin, decide if the FTP server should send customized messages to clients changing directories.

Steps:

  1. If you want the FTP server to send a message to named users, when changing MVS directories:
    1. Create MVS data sets containing the message for each MVS directory that should display a message when entered. Enter the message into the data set as plain EBCDIC text.
    2. Enter the Low Level Qualifier of the message files in the field labeled, "LLQ for named users (MVSINFO):".
  2. If you want the FTP server to send a message to named users, when changing file system directories:
    1. Create zFS files containing the message for each zFS directory that should display a message when entered. Enter the message into the data set as plain EBCDIC text.
    2. Enter the relative path and/or file name of the message files in the field labeled, "Message file for named users (HFSINFO):".

You have completed this panel when you have entered the files names associated with the respective messages. All fields are optional, therefore, no entries are required if these functions are not desired.

You can find more detailed help on the following elements of this window:

MVS directories (Optional)

LLQ for named users (MVSINFO)

zFS directories (Optional)

Message file for named users (HFSINFO)
