FTP Transfers Workspace

The FTP Transfers workspace displays all FTP transfers that were completed or became active within the display interval. Active transfers that were initiated before the display interval are not included in the FTP Transfers Count or FTP Transfers Summary Table views. Transfers that are active are never displayed in the Total Bytes > 1M or Transmission Time > 10 sec views because those attributes are always zero in active records.

This provides performance data for FTP data transfers between a z/OS FTP client and a remote FTP server and between a remote FTP client and a z/OS FTP server. A local IP address and port number and a remote IP address and port number uniquely define the FTP data connection for this FTP transfer.
