MFFTP Invoking a Third Party Client

You need to set the following two control variables to invoke the client:
  • Configure MFFTP to use a third party program.
    MFFTP_CLIENT=USER
  • A user-written module which is specified using MFFTP_USR_FTP_PGM invokes the third party program.

    MFFTP_USR_FTP_PGM=module

    This configures MFFTP to call the specified module, that will invoke the third part client.

If MFFTP-CLIENT is set to USER, MFFTP_USR_FTP_PGM must also be set and must name a module that is accessible to the batch process. If these conditions are not met, MFFTP aborts after validating the control cards.
