CA NetMaster FTM helps you manage the following:

File transfers
File transfer schedules
CA XCOM Data Transport for z/OS, CONNECT:Direct, CONNECT:Mailbox, CA SOLVE:FTS, and FTP server file transfer applications
IBM's Communications Server and CA TCPaccess CS for z/OS file transfer mechanisms
DASD and tape storage devices

You create definitions in the knowledge base to store the management information. To manage all of the above, except for file transfers, you also need to create a system image.
