Purpose

Use the SENDPort subcommand to toggle the automatic sending of the PORT command.

Parameters

There are no parameters for this subcommand.

Usage

• By default, the SENDPort subcommand is turned on when you start an FTP session. Each time you use the SENDPort subcommand, it is turned alternately on and off.
• FTP does not send PORT commands for data transfer when you disable PORT commands by toggling the function off.
• SENDPort is useful for communication with those FTP implementations that ignore PORT commands, but show (incorrectly) that the PORT command has been accepted.
• To determine if the sending of port information is enabled or disabled on your local host, use the LOCSTat subcommand.
• The sendport setting is ignored during proxy transfer.
