Subject: Execute a Unix Shell Script via Mainframe FTP


I am trying to execute a Unix Shell Script from the Mainframe
via a FTP
process.

Can it be done?

If so, can you provide a sample setup.

Regards,

Allen Thennes

No. Ftp can only transfer files. It cannot initiate any "remote
execution". REXEC does remote execution. You can also use "ssh" to do
that as well. FTP could be used to submit a job which could then run a
script. But that would be asynchronous to the execution of the ftp and
would not return any results to the ftp session.
