Using message types
In the ftp message system, messages are stored in directories under a root directory on an ftp host. The ftp host and the root directory are specified by message system control parameters held in the registry or initialization file, and the address of each user is the subdirectory where their messages are held.
For a list of operating systems for which ftp is supported, see Supported operating systems.
The ftp message system uses the following control parameters:
host The host name of the computer where the messages are stored. This can be a host name (such as ftp.ianywhere.com) or an IP address (such as 192.138.151.66).
user The user name for accessing the ftp host.
password The password for accessing the ftp host.
root_directory The root directory within the ftp host site, under which the messages are stored.
port Usually not required. This is the IP port number used for the Ftp connection.
debug This is set to either YES or NO, with the default being NO. When set to YES, debugging output is displayed.
active_mode This is set to either YES or NO, with the default being NO (passive mode).
