Product Overview

FTAM comprised several key components. The FTAM server acted as the central point for handling file transfer requests. The FTAM client initiated and managed file transfers, interacting with the server to send and receive files.

A configuration manager was responsible for managing settings and parameters. These components communicated over TCP/IP, with the server listening on a specific port. The CLI provided the primary interface for interacting with the system.

Configuration files were used to define transfer parameters, security settings, and platform-specific configurations. The `SEND` command was used to transfer files from a local system to a remote system, while the `RECEIVE` command was used to retrieve files. The `DELETE` command was used to remove files.

Authentication was handled through user ID and password. The system's design facilitated file transfers between z/OS and various platforms, enabling data exchange and system integration. FTAM is no longer supported.

Organizations should consider migrating to a modern solution like OpenSSH, which offers enhanced security and scalability.
