Use the ANONYMOUSMVSINFO statement to specify the MVS™ data sets whose contents should be displayed when an anonymous user changes directory. The statement identifies a low-level qualifier (LLQ) to be appended to the current path whenever an anonymous FTP user changes directories to an MVS data set.
Parameters
- MVS-LLQ
- The MVS-LLQ is the MVS low-level qualifier (LLQ) to be appended to the current MVS path whenever an anonymous FTP user changes directories to an MVS data set. If a data set matches the current path appended LLQ, the contents of the data set are to be returned to the FTP user and displayed to the end user (when the end user is an anonymous user).
Examples
To display a readme file the first
time an anonymous user changes directory to high-level qualifiers,
use the statement in the following example. In this example, an MVS high-level qualifier of productname might
have a readme file for each product, and when an anonymous user changes
directory to the product, the readme file would be displayed.
ANONYMOUSMVSINFO README Usage notes
- You can use MVSINFO to specify the same LLQ and ANONYMOUSMVSINFO. In this way, anonymous and known users can display the same information.
- The ANONYMOUSMVSINFO data set is displayed only the first time a user changes to a specific directory. The FTP server maintains a finite history of CD commands entered by the FTP user. If the FTP user performs frequent CD commands, it is possible the user sees the same ANONYMOUSMVSINFO file more than once.
- ANONYMOUSMVSINFO applies only to anonymous users. For all other users, a banner informational message can be displayed using the MVSINFO statement.
