Configuring a Host Directory Entry → FTP
This settings page allows you to set up an FTP server which is associated with the host of this host directory entry. E.g. you can set up an SFTP connection with your Linux secure shell login, or an FTP server that corresponds with your zOS host.
The FTP client will allow you to exchange files with that server more easily (e.g. up- and download files with drag drop instead of using SCP or IND$FILE commands).
| FTP Type | |
This field allows you to choose the type of FTP connection offered by the server (e.g., SFTP (SSH) or FTPS (SSL)) for the internal FTP window, which is part of ZOC Terminal.
Alternatively, you can choose to use an external FTP client (e.g.,
FileZilla of WinSCP). The external FTP client itself is
configured under
Options→Program Settings→Special Files.
Parameters for invoking the external FTP client to connect to this specific
server can be provided below.
| |
| Use a different server for ftp-connections | |
Check this option if the ftp server associated with this connection has a
different address than the server you connect to for terminal access.
| |
| Use different login for ftp authentication | |
If the ftp server uses authentication credentials which differ from the
username and password in your host directory entry, you can check this
option and provide the FTP username and password here.
| |
| Local/Remote start folder | |
These are folder designations which will be used as starting points
when the FTP windows opens. The local folder is a folder name on your
computer (e.g. C:\users\you\Desktop) and the
remote folder is a folder name based on the remote system
(e.g. /home/you/development).
| |
| Parameter for ext. FTP | |
If you choose an FTP type of "External" above, you can enter a parameter here, which will be passed on to the external FTP client to specify where to connect. Typically, this will be a URL-like string containing the username, password, and server name, e.g., sftp://harry:secret@hogwarts.edu. The parameter can contain one or more of the following placeholders which will be replaced with the respective values from the host directory entry: %USERNAME%, %PASSWORD%, %FTPSERVER%. The Set button next to this field will populate it with a typical sftp-URL parameter containing placeholders which will be suitable for FileZilla and WinSCP. | |
