Running the FTP User Program
After you have established a session on the MPE XL system, at the MPE XL
prompt enter:
:FTP.ARPA.SYS
A banner similar to the following appears:
File Transfer Protocol [A0002001] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1990
ftp>
You can also enter the command as:
:RUN FTP.ARPA.SYS
To simplify the run statement, you can set the search path for your
account as in the following example (see the Command Interpreter Access
and Variables Programmer's Guide, part number 32650-90011, for more
information).
:SETVAR hppath "!hpgroup,arpa.sys,pub.sys"
which allows you to run the FTP program by entering:
:FTP [ remotehostname]
To exit from FTP at any time, enter QUIT at the ftp> prompt.
Run-time Options
You can start the FTP user program and connect to a remote host in one
step by using the INFO= string in the form:
:RUN FTP.ARPA.SYS;INFO=" remotehostname"
Where remotehostname is the internet protocol (IP) address or remote
host NS node name.
Once the connection has been established, enter the remote user logon
name and password when prompted as described in the next section under
"Logging On".
