  • Changing the directory of a z/OS FTP server
    If the remote server is z/OS® FTP, the directory value can specify either a z/OS UNIX file system name, a common prefix for a group of MVS™ data sets, or the qualifiers of a partitioned data set (PDS).
  • Changing the directory of a VM FTP server
  • Testing throughput with *DEV.NULL
    If you have a z/OS FTP server, you can use the PUt or MVSPut subcommand to copy many files (or one large file) without storing the files on a z/OS FTP server file system. This is useful for testing purposes because you do not have to worry about allocating the disk space on the server system.
