Shared File System (SFS) Disk Space To Become the Default when FTP'ing to VM/CMS On Thursday, 1 September, clients using the 'FTP' facility to transfer files to an IBM VM/CMS mainframe account will connect to the account 'root directory' on shared file system (SFS) disk space if that account has SFS space allocated. 'FTP' is available on networked personal computers as well as central multi-user systems such as VM/CMS and OpenVMS. This service required use of a special port number during the spring and summer test period. Use of the port number will no longer be necessary since the 'FTP' command will connect to SFS space by default. The change is now necessary to accommodate file transfer to accounts with SFS disk space allocations exclusively. CLIENTS WITH NO SFS SPACE ALLOCATION WILL NOTICE NO DIFFERENCE IN FTP SERVICES.
