FTPNewPhysicalFile Action

Create a new physical file on the FTP server.

Version Support

Obsolete from Version 11.0 onwards. Some older solutions may contain instances of this action. Run the compatibility report to identify any use of this action and remove it from your solution.

TIP:

For solutions that contain obsolete FTP actions (FTPNewLibrary, FTPNewMember or FTPNewPhysicalFile), a potential work-around is to call FTPQuote with the host command that is the equivalent of the obsolete action. For example, to create a library, you could send:
FTPQuote ("CRTLIB MYLIBRARY TYPE(*TEST) TEXT('My library')")

Name of the connection that the action will be applied to. Should be the same name as specified in the FTPConnect call.

Specifies whether the file contains data records or source records (statements). This parameter should be set to one of the File Type constants.

Record Length – (Required)

If no source file has been used (no DDS definition), then this parameter specifies the length (in bytes) of records stored in the physical file.
