FTADV in the File Transfer Command

Enter the FTADV data directly into the file transfer command in a file transfer advice string.

For example, to make sure that the data in the file that is being fetched is treated as binary, use the file transfer advice string /FTADV:X=BIN/:

sftp> get /FTADV:X=BIN/test.txt

	Note
	This overrides the settings defined in the `ssh_ftadv_config` file described in File Transfer Profiles.

The following table lists some of the commonly used file transfer advice string names with their abbreviations, possible values and short descriptions. Consult the Tectia Server for IBM z/OS User Manual for a complete list of the available file transfer advice string names and their detailed descriptions.
