RHEL: How to transfer a file from a Mainframe or AIX system using the Record Structure mode?
Issue
- Some x390 or AIX files are record-oriented and not file-oriented (which is the default).
- Current vsftp version does not have the Record structure support, while it is specified in RFC 959 (FTP RFC).
-
When using STRU R the following error is displayed:
ftp> stru R We only support file structure
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL)
