You will see the hercules prompt
in the hercules prompt you type the below command to start FTP
herc =====>/start ftpd,srvport=21
06.10.38 STC 122 $HASP100 FTPD ON STCINRDR
06.10.38 STC 122 $HASP373 FTPD STARTED
06.10.38 STC 122 IEF403I FTPD - STARTED - TIME=06.10.38
That's all the FTP is started, now you can use your preferred FTP Client like FileZilla or any other to connect the mainframe
Example FTP command line
C:\Users\user1>ftp 127.0.0.1
Connected to 127.0.0.1.
