| FTP Server Highlights: - Implements the publicly published File Transfer Protocol outlined in RFC 959 and RFC 1123. - Supports the following types of files and access methods: 1) All types of flat files (Fixed, Variable, Spanned and Undef) on Disk or Tape. Also, ANSII (ASCII ) tapes are supported. 2) All VSAM types (KSDS, ESDS, RRDS and VRDS). 3) Libraries (string and Fixed records). 4) POWER (LST, PUN and RDR).. - The server is built with time-proven, solid mainframe concepts. Yes, it sports a classical UNIX-like interface. But that is where similarities end and differences begin : For utmost security and convenience, the Administrator implements File Views and User Profiles... File Views... This server maps the VSE filing system using a new and sophisticated concept: File Views. You expose VSE files (to FTP clients) by creating simple, english-like, views. Each view represents a set of one or more files sharing a common access method. Views can be specific enough to expose a single file, or generic enough to expose a large number of files. Or it can be in-between (i.e., expose a selected number of files). Please note that you can create any number of views (even of the same type) to suite your needs. User Profiles... You create profiles for users to grant access to a "list of views". Essentially, this builds a unique Home Directory for each user. Also, you can use the profile to assign certain properites to views. Unique, per-user, home directories. Microscopic Control over operations that can be performed. Include/Exclude files for VTOC and VSAM Catalog views. - All line-mode and graphical clients (Windows, Unix, or any other platform) can exchange files with this server. - Enhances the performance of your TCP/IP partition. The server runs in its own partition and does its own file/IO. This frees up the TCP/IP partition in order to do other important work for you. - The server maintains an extensive audit log. You can always see who did what, when, and so forth. - The server can help automate your batch cycle. It can automatically submit jobs at the end of each GET and PUT, if you wish. - The server sports a front-end, interactive interface. The admin can always login to the server (using a VTAM terminal) and see what the server is doing, and who is talking to it. - The server supports a large set of variables, such as Time, Date, Day of week, Name of month, which can be used to create unique files for every transfer. |
