IBM z/OS FTP.DATA configuration statements for the FTP Server must specify the BANNER statement.

The structure and content of error messages must be carefully considered by the organization and development team. The extent to which the information system is able to identify and handle error conditions is guided by organizational policy and operational requirements.
