Syntax
mode [type={text|binary}] [trim={yes|no}]
Description
The
mode command sets the current transfer mode.
The
type parameter specifies the current mode type:
- If text is the current mode type, file transfers are treated as text and codepage translation takes place.
- If binary is the current mode type, files are transferred as binary.
The
trim parameter specifies whether or not trailing spaces are trimmed (removed) from each record / line in a text transfer.
Issuing the
mode command without parameters displays the current transfer mode.
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
|---|
type=text | binary | Sets the type of transfer. - If the transfer type is text, UDM performs text translation on the data between the codepages for the primary and secondary servers.
- If the transfer type is binary, UDM sends the source data over as is, with no translation.
Default is binary when a new session is opened. |
trim=yes | no | Sets whether or not to trim trailing spaces during a text transfer. - If the value is yes, spaces at the end of each line (record) are removed from the data when it is written.
- If the value is no, spaces at the end of each line (record) are not removed.
Default is no when a transfer session is initiated. |
