Use this window to type the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site name for the LIC repository location, your FTP server user ID, and FTP server password. The default directory is displayed.
An FTP server holds the server or power subsystem fix. It is any system on which you have activated the FTP server protocol. Normally, your HMC only has the FTP client active.
The remote site can be IBM, if you are downloading the fix directly from there to your managed system, or it can be another system where you have already downloaded the fix. For example, you downloaded the fix to an FTP server yesterday. Today, you want to retrieve the fix from the FTP server so you can download it to the server at your site.
