1 – LOG
Enables or disables the display of all protocol commands sent to
the remote host.
Default: DISABLE LOG.

Debugging on (debug=1).
FTP> ENABLE REPLY
Reply on.
Verbose mode on.
FTP> PUT PRICES.TXT YEAR.PRICES
---> PORT 1,2,3,4,7,138

FTP>
Turns on the display of commands sent to the remote host. Shows
all the commands sent to the remote host during the execution
of PUT and GET.
2 – PARSE
Enables or disables the expansion of remote file names during
file transfers.
o PUT operations: expansion is done by the local host.
o GET operations: expansion is done on the remote host.
During GET operations, an expansion of a directory name might
be different from the expansion of other file names. The result
depends on the operating systems of the remote and local hosts.
DCL Format
ENABLE PARSE
DISABLE PARSE
UNIX Format
glob
2.1 – Examples
1.FTP> ENABLE PARSE
FTP> PUT BIRDS*.TXT
Enables parsing and the expansion of wildcards. Copies all
local files starting with the characters BIRDS and ending with
.TXT to the remote host.
2.FTP> ENABLE PARSE
FTP> GET *.DOC
Because parsing is enabled, the remote host expands the
wildcard. All remote files ending in .DOC are copied to the
local system.
The command is equivalent to the following:
FTP> ENABLE PARSE
FTP> MGET *.DOC
3 – PORT_COMMAND
Enables or disables the sending of the FTP protocol PORT command
to the remote host.
By default, FTP sends a PORT command when establishing a
connection. If this command fails, FTP uses the default data
port (20).
Disable the sending of the PORT command when you communicate with
remote hosts that ignore PORT commands.
Default: ENABLE PORT_COMMAND.
DCL Format
ENABLE PORT_COMMAND
DISABLE PORT_COMMAND
UNIX Format

3.1 – Example
FTP> ENABLE PORT_COMMAND
FTP> PUT CODE.TXT
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening data connection for CODE.TXT (130.180.10.8,1182)
226 Transfer complete
local: DISK$PROJECT6:[MANAGEMENT]CODE.TXT;9 remote: CODE.TXT
3634 bytes sent in 00:00:00.04 seconds (88.72 Kbytes/s)
FTP enters a PORT command before the file transfer.
4 – REPLY

host.
Default: ENABLE REPLY.
DCL Format
ENABLE REPLY
DISABLE REPLY

2405 bytes received in 00:00:00.03 seconds (60.22 Kbytes/s)
FTP>
Enables the display of all the responses from the remote
host. Copies birds.txt from the remote host to the local file
dogs.txt, and shows all the executed FTP commands in progress.
2.FTP> DISABLE REPLY
Bell off.
Reply off.
Verbose off.
FTP> get birds.txt dogs.txt
FTP>
Disables the display of all the responses from the remote host.
Copies birds.txt from the remote host.
5 – TRANSFER_VERIFICATION
Enables or disables the display of # for each 1000 bytes of
transferred data.
Default: DISABLE TRANSFER_VERIFICATION.
DCL Format
ENABLE TRANSFER_VERIFICATION
DISABLE TRANSFER_VERIFICATION
UNIX Format
hash
5.1 – Example
FTP> ENABLE TRANSFER_VERIFICATION

15596 bytes received in 00:00:00.11 seconds (138.45 Kbytes/s)
FTP>
Enables the display of # for each 1000 bytes of transferred
data. Copies futures.dis to FUTURES_H2.DIS, showing when 1000
bytes are transferred.
6 – VMS_PLUS
Enables or disables VMS Plus Mode. This lets you specify a
transfer mode based on file type (for example, ASCII or image).
With VMS Plus Mode disabled, FTP does not send the FTP command
SITE. (Older implementations of the FTP server do not support
this command.) The FTP client uses the SITE command to identify
itself (its SITE type) to the remote host. The SITE type of an
FTP client can be one of the following:
o +VMS+ - The client is in VMS Plus mode.
o NONE - The client is not in VMS Plus mode.
Defaults:
o When you use FTP to connect to an OpenVMS host running TCP/IP
Services, VMS Plus Mode is enabled.
o When you use FTP to connect to a non-OpenVMS host or to an
Open VMS system running software that does not recognize VMS
Plus Mode, VMS Plus Mode is disabled.
DCL Format
ENABLE VMS_PLUS
DISABLE VMS_PLUS
UNIX Format
There is no UNIX equivalent for the ENABLE or DISABLE VMS_PLUS
command.
