200-: Umask invalid syntax. Specify UMASK umask_value. UMASK ignored

Explanation

The SITE command was issued with the UMASK parameter, but the syntax of the UMASK parameter was incorrect. The correct syntax is SITE UMASK umask_value, where umask_value is a 3 character octal number representing file permission bits.

System action

The UMASK parameter is ignored. FTP continues.

User response

Reissue the SITE command with a valid value for the UMASK parameter. See the z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands, in the information about transferring data using the file transfer protocol for information about the parameters of the SIte subcommand.

System programmer response

None.
