Example of FTP firewall data

Suppose that to download files using FTP from a remote host, you must connect to a local firewall server, logon to that firewall server by specifying a user ID and password, and then use the SITE command to connect to the remote FTP host. In this case, you would include information in the CLIENT data set, as shown in Figure 1:

Figure 1. Example of CLIENT data set content

<CLIENT>
  <FIREWALL>
    <SERVER
      host="local.firewall.host"
      user="USER1" pw="PASSWORD1">
    </SERVER>
    <FIRECMD>&USER;</FIRECMD>
    <FIRECMD>&PW;</FIRECMD>
    <FIRECMD>SITE &REMOTE_HOST;</FIRECMD>
  </FIREWALL>
</CLIENT>
