FTP client subcommand

LOCSITE [ parameters ]

The IBM i FTP client supports these parameters and parameter options for the LOCSITE subcommand:

CRTCCSID *CALC
New database files created during ASCII file transfers use the related default EBCDIC CCSID of the ASCII file transfer CCSID. This is the default value.
CRTCCSID *USER
New database files created during ASCII file transfers use the current job CCSID. However, if this CCSID is 65535, the default CCSID determined by the language id in the current job specification.
CRTCCSID *SYSVAL
New database files created during ASCII file transfers use the CCSID that the QCCSID system value specifies.
CRTCCSID [CCSID-number]
Specify the CCSID you want to use when creating database files on the client during ASCII file transfers. The FTP server validates this value.
CRTCCSID
Display a message that contains the current FTP client CRTCCSID setting.
TRIM 0
Set Trim option to OFF. The FTP server sends trailing blanks of database records.
TRIM 1
Set Trim option to ON. The FTP server does not send trailing blanks of database records when transferring database files that use file structure and stream mode. This is the default.
TRIM 2
Set Trim option so the server does not send trailing blanks of database records for all transfers, including record structure and block mode.
TRIM
Display a message that contains the current setting of the FTP client TRIM option.
Notes:
  1. Prior to the availability of this subcommand, trailing blanks of QSYS.LIB file system records were always removed before transferring the file to the FTP server.
  2. TRIM settings do not apply to TYPE I (binary) file transfers. Blanks are never trimmed for TYPE I file transfers, regardless of the TRIM setting.
