This command selects how to make a response available for transactions that are started by an FTP STOR or SOUT operation.

Syntax

response-type none

response-type virtual-filesystem

Guidelines

The response-type command selects how to make a response available for gateway transactions that an FTP started with STOR or SOUT operation.

If virtual-filesystem is chosen, the response is made available as a file in the virtual file system that can be read by the FTP client. The directory for responses is configured on a per-virtual directory basis. The suffix that are specified by the response-suffix command is added to the input file name. The virtual-directory command controls where the files are stored.

This command is relevant when filesystem is virtual-ephemeral or virtual-persistent. Otherwise, it is ignored.
