Deployment FTP Locations

File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a protocol for transfer of files from one computer to another over the network.

Define an FTP location for every system if you deploy to specified systems within a sysplex. They are used to retrieve the deployment results on the target system regardless of whether the deployment was transmitted through FTP or using shared DASD. They are also used when you are moving your deployments through FTP. You need the URI (host system name), port number (default is 21), and the directory path, which is the landing directory. The landing directory is where the data is temporarily placed during a deployment.
