Description

The SITE option specifies a command that is host-specific and is generally used to control file transfers.

SITE option commands are a requirement for z/OS FTP servers. They also are useful for IBM I and Windows servers to format directory listings (LIST) so that they can be easily parsed by the FTP Client.

For example:

-site "listfmt 1" -site "namefmt 1"
