RE: FTP - preventing status messages from appearing on screen

Do an override dbf OVRDBF of the file name OUTPUT to a file.  The FTP log
will then go to the file rather than the screen.

Subject: FTP - preventing status messages from appearing on screen






When doing a file transfer, from a CL program, using FTP with the FTP server
running on a remote system, if the job runs interactively, all the FTP
status messages appear onscreen. Is there a way to prevent that (without
having to run the job in batch) ? For example :
OVRDBF     FILE(INPUT) TOFILE(FTPSRCE) MBR(&MBRFTP)
STRTCPFTP  RMTSYS(&FTPSERVER)

the ftp instructions are contained in member &MBRFTin source file FTPSRCE.
When the cL is run something like that is displayed for example:

Input read from specified override file.
Connecting to host FTPSERVER address 10.152.10.10 using port 21. 220
FTPSERVER  Microsoft FTP Service (Version 3.0). Enter login ID (username):

FTP subcommand.

> PUT QTEMP/file1 file2.csv
 > CLOSE

 Enter an FTP subcommand.
 > QUIT
 Press ENTER to end terminal session.
