Parameters

TRUE
The FTP server allows an FTP client to log in to FTP with a password phrase. This is the default value.
FALSE
The FTP server does not allow an FTP client to log in to FTP with a password phrase.

Examples

To allow an FTP client to log in to FTP with a password phrase, code the following statement:
PASSPHRASE     TRUE 

Usage notes

When PASSPHRASE FALSE is configured in FTP.DATA of the server, consider the following two things:
  • If an FTP client logs in to FTP with a password of a length that is greater than 8 characters, the password is truncated to 8 characters.
  • The FTCHKPWD exit parameter at offset +36 points to a buffer that consists of a 2-byte field, which contains zeros, and is followed by 100 blanks.
