SENDSITE (Specify Whether to Send a SITE Subcommand)

The SENDSITE IBM® i FTP client subcommand specifies whether a SITE subcommand with record format information is automatically sent when you do a PUT or an MPUT operation.

FTP client subcommand

SENDSite [ 0 | 1 ]

If there is no parameter, SENDSITE works like a toggle switch. The SENDSITE value changes from 0 (OFF) to 1 (ON) or from 1 to 0.

When there is a parameter, the valid values are:

0: Do not send a SITE subcommand. This is the default.
1: Send a SITE subcommand (containing record format information) before sending PUT and MPUT subcommands. Use this setting when transferring files to an IBM Virtual Machine server that uses the record format information that sends with the SITE subcommand.
