FTP with traditional DBCS support

This section describes how to use FTP to exchange DBCS data sets between hosts supporting DBCS file transfer.

The z/OS® FTP server and client programs access data sets containing data that is usually in EBCDIC format. To transfer these data sets to or from an ASCII-based host requires translation tables. The transfer of DBCS data uses two tables—one for DBCS characters and one for SBCS characters.
