What, exactly, is "the Z Mode"? Automatic
compression? Which FTP server are you using
(on what)?

The concept is applicable, sure... but answering the question requires knowing the type of the FTP server, because:

- Mode Z is an optional feature: not all FTP servers support it

- there is no standard way to configure Mode Z: each FTP server daemon requires its own configuration style.

In HP-UX, the answer might have been "disable the standard FTP server daemon and install & configure one that has the necessary features."

In Linux, different distributions use different FTP server daemons by default. Some distributions (e.g. Debian) even have multiple FTP daemons available (and none installed by default), so that you're free to pick one that best suits your needs.

So please identify your FTP server daemon when asking a question like this, or the only answer you're likely to get will be "Please read the documentation of your FTP server, whatever it might be".

Some common full-featured FTP daemons are wu-ftpd, ProFTPD and vsftpd.

If you cannot identify your FTP server daemon, at least identify your OS. In case of Linux, the name and version of your Linux distribution would be the minimum required information; the name of the FTP server package (.rpm or whatever) would also be nice to know.
