Qualifiers


/ANONYMOUS
   Causes an anonymous access to the remote node or nodes.
   /ANONYMOUS is the default remote access. The password
   passed to the remote node should be in the form of
   "user@fullyqualifiednodename".


/ASCII
   Used to identify an ASCII file (text file). /ASCII is the
   default.


/BINARY
   Required to identify binary files.


/FDL
   This qualifier is optional. Causes interaction with an FDL (file
   definition language) file. If the file is being copied to the
   local OpenVMS system, a remote FDL file is sought and interpreted
   for the operation. If the file is being copied outside the local
   OpenVMS system, an FDL file is generated and copied in addition
   to the requested file. If the /FDL qualifier is specified and the
   vendor application does not support it, a warning message may be
   issued.


/LOG
   Displays a message at SYS$OUTPUT when a file is transferred.


/NOSTRUVMS
   Used to explicitly disable the negotiation of STRU OpenVMS
   transfers. Otherwise, some servers will immediately abort when
   negotiating the feature.


/PASSIVE
      /PASSIVE=option

   Controls whether the FTP client or server initiates the data
   connection. If you do not specify this qualifier, the Internet
   Protocol appropriate value is used. The values are: OFF for IPv4,
   ON for IPv6.

   The following table describes the /PASSIVE options:

   Option      Description

   OFF         The FTP server initiates the data connection.
   ON          The FTP client initiates the data connection.
   (default)
               This is often used where a firewall between the FTP
               client and server prevents the server from making an
               outbound connection.

               ON is the default value only if /PASSIVE is
               specified.

   The underlying TCP/IP Networking product must recognize this
   qualifier and must support FTP passive in order for this
   qualifier to have an effect.

   Note that the /PASSIVE qualifier is equivalent to the FTP PASV
   command.


/SSL
    /SSL=option

    Controls whether the FTP client uses secure SSL sockets for the
    connection.  The following table describes the /SSL options:

    Option      Description

    CCC         Clear Control Channel connection option is useful
                when the copy must pass through a firewall. The
                Control Channel data is not encrypted so the
                firewall knows which port to open for the Data
                Channel.

    DATA        All transmission data is encrypted.
    (default)

   The underlying TCP/IP Networking product must recognize this
   qualifier and must support SSL encryption in order for this
   qualifier to have an effect.


/VERBOSE
      /VERBOSE
      /NOVERBOSE

   Specifies whether all messages (including banner messages) are to
   be displayed on the terminal. By default, disables the display of
   the messages.
