Chapter 3 - FTP Commands

List of Commands

By default, the adapter first tries to connect using passive mode; see the Passive Mode adapter command (-PV). If the adapter is unsuccessful, it uses port mode.

During a port mode connection, the adapter listens for the connection and dictates where the server is to connect.

-PORT

Private Key (-PKEY)

The Private Key adapter command (-PKEY) specifies the file containing the client private key (if used).

-PKEYfilename

Option Description

filename Specify the file containing the client private key.

Private Key Password (-KPASS)

Use the Private Key Password adapter command (-KPASS) to specify the password for the client private key (if password protected).

-KPASSpassword

OptionDescription

password

Quantity (-QTY)

Use the Quantity command (-QTY) to capture the number of files to be retrieved by the adapter.

If you are running in burst mode, each burst may return less than QTY

messages, but the total number of messages returned by the adapter will not exceed the value specified by the –QTYcommand.

If not specified, the default quantity is the FetchUnit size of the burst.
