Configuration Options for Sending Commands

UFTP provides commands and transfer instructions to the FTP server using the COMMAND, QUOTE, and SITE options. COMMAND typically is used, but QUOTE and/or SITE also can be specified, depending on the requirements of a particular transfer.

COMMAND
For sending generic, protocol-agnostic, OS-agnostic commands (although not all protocols support all commands; for example, TFTP does not support LIST).
QUOTE
For sending protocol-specific commands (different commands for FTP(S) and SFTP).
SITE
For sending host-specific commands (z/os server has its own set of commands).
