The file transfer fails.

Operator response

Not applicable.

User response

If you intended to use the SUBSYS parameter, and your client is the z/OS® FTP client, use the PUT subcommand instead of the APPEND subcommand to send the file to the server. Otherwise, send a SITE command that specifies the SUBSYS parameter without a subsystem name to the FTP server to disable subsystem processing. See the information about the PUT subcommand and the SIte subcommand in z/OS Communications Server: IP User's Guide and Commands .
