To ensure that data integrity is maintained, the z/OS FTP implementation includes several controls and configurations allowing users to tailor FTP data translation to their specific needs. The primary function of FTP, as suggested by its name, is the transferral of data between hosts. Such is the case with the File Transfer Protocol (FTP). As such, applications which specifically deal with the transmission of non-protocol data must employ methods of translating between different data encodings, and must do so without compromising the integrity of the data. One of the areas in which this subject is most poignant is the encoding of data, which must transcend differences in machine languages, cultural languages, and varying dialects in both. As a result, finding methods of integrating these heterogeneous entities over a homogenous communication standard continues to become a growing challenge. Today's networks are comprised of wide varieties of system architectures, networking protocols, and-above all-diverse users.
