Controlling File Transfer
The current Secure Shell protocol and current clients do not transfer
any information about the files to be transferred, only the file
contents as a byte stream. This is sufficient for Unix-type files if the
sender and receiver use the same CCS.
SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS needs more information: which transfer format to use,
what code sets are involved, and what the file characteristics
are. Some of this information may be transported in the protocol in
the future versions of SSH Tectia Client. In SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS, the information is
either encoded in the filename (Advice String), read from a
file transfer profile, or in case of file transfer client from
environment variables.
