Optionally configuring user-level server options using FTPS.RC

The default values for the site parameters are coded in the server FTP.DATA. These SITE defaults apply to all login sessions to the server. You can customize settings for a specific user or group of users by creating an FTPS.RC configuration data set containing FTP commands specific to that login session. This file may contain a series of CWD and SITE commands. See z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands for information about these commands.

The FTP server uses the following search order to find the MVS™ data set or z/OS® UNIX file:

  1. tso_prefix.FTPS.RC
  2. userid.FTPS.RC
  3. $HOME/ftps.rc
