Verifying the FTP client

To verify that the FTP client works correctly, log onto TSO and issue the NETSTAT HOME command, or issue NETSTAT –h from the z/OS® UNIX shell. These commands will show the interface addresses that are known to the system. Below is an example of the output from NETSTAT HOME:

To invoke the FTP client, use any address shown on the NETSTAT HOME address list. The first example below shows how you could log in to the FTP server at 9.67.115.13 using a batch job (the output of the batch job is not shown). The second example shows logging in to the FTP server at 9.67.113.37 from the TSO environment.

//FTPBATCH JOB FTPUSER,           
// USER=USER1,PASSWORD=TCPSUP     
//BATCH  EXEC PGM=FTP             
//OUTPUT  DD SYSOUT=*             
//INPUT DD *
