MFFTP DD Statements

MFFTP requires one of the following DD statements:

INPUT

For JES2. Defines the command that will be sent to the native FTP client together with the actual FTP commands.

SYSIPT

For VSE. Defines the command that will be sent to the native FTP client together with the actual FTP commands.

MFFTP will use the following DD statements, if present:

OUTPUT

Specifies the preferred destination of all output including, for example, messages from MFFTP and the ftp client.

SYSPRINT

This can be used as an alternative to OUTPUT DD statement, to define preferred output destinations.

SYSFTPD

As on the mainframe. Only the keyword values described in the LOCSITE command are supported.

NETRC

As on the mainframe. This file, or in-stream data contains some login and initialization information. It is used to hide the login details in the JCL job card.

ENVVAR

Use this to code most of the control variables, one per line. It overrides any values set at a global level by, for example, the values in the FTP.DATA dataset.

Note: This is especially useful if you need to set MFFTP_KEEP to Y to resolve a problem when the same variable is set to N at system level.

SFTPAUTH

When using the SFTP client ( ftp over ssh) this DD contains authorisation configuration. Please see the sftp topic for more details.
