    Sets maximum tolerance level for errors:

    o  ERROR - FTP tolerates errors and warnings and does not exit
       when running in batch mode.

    o  SUCCESS - The default. FTP does not tolerate errors and exits
       when running in batch mode.

    o  WARNING - FTP tolerates warnings and does not exit when
       running in batch mode.

    DCL Format

      SET ERROR_LEVEL  error_level

    UNIX Format

      There is no UNIX equivalent for the SET ERROR_LEVEL command.

2.1  –  Parameters

 error_level

    Required.

    Severity of errors tolerated. Specify ERROR, SUCCESS, or WARNING.
    The default is SUCCESS.

2.2  –  Example

  FTP> SET ERROR_LEVEL ERROR
  Error level is ERROR.

      Sets the error level tolerance to ERROR.

3  –  PASSIVE

    Controls whether the FTP client or server initiates data
    connections.

    DCL Format

      SET PASSIVE  keyword

    UNIX Format

      passive  keyword

3.1  –  Parameters

 keyword

    The FTP client program starts with the value AUTO. All keyword
    comparisons are done without regard for typographical case (case-
    blind).

    o  ALL

       Does nothing.

    o  AUTO

       The FTP client uses the version of network protocol in use on
       the control connection to determine how the data connection is
       initiated. If the network protocol is IPv4, FTP client behaves
       as though SET PASSIVE OFF had been specified. If the network
       protocol is IPv6, FTP client behaves as though SET PASSIVE ON
       had been specified.

    o  OFF

       The FTP server initiates the data connection.

    o  ON

       The FTP client initiates the data connection. This is often
       useful when a network firewall exists on the path between the
       client and the server and prevents the FTP server from making
       outbound connections.

3.2  –  Example

  FTP> SET PASSIVE ON
  Passive is ON

      Sets passive mode to ON. The FTP client always initiates the
      data connection.

  FTP> PASSIVE AUTO
  Passive is AUTO (IPv4: OFF, IPv6: ON).

      Sets passive mode back to AUTO.

4  –  TYPE

    Defines the data representation type:

    o  ASCII - Appropriate for text files (default).

    o  IMAGE - Appropriate for transferring binary files, such as
       executable images.

    DCL Format

      SET TYPE  type

    UNIX Format

      type  type

4.1  –  Parameters

 type

    Required.

    Data representation type. Specify ASCII or IMAGE. If you do not
    use the SET TYPE command, the default is SET TYPE ASCII.

4.2  –  Example

  FTP> SET TYPE IMAGE
  200 Type set to I.

      Sets the data representation type to IMAGE for files you
      transfer during the current FTP session.
