Transfer Files from the Remote Host to MPE XL
Use
the GET command to copy a file from the remote host to your local MPE XL
system. FTP does not delete the remote copy of the file. Enter the GET
command followed by the file name of the remote file, followed by the
name of the file you want to copy to on your local system.
ftp> GET remotefile localfile
If you do not specify the localfile name, the file will be transferred
with the remotefile name specified:
ftp> GET remotefile
If the remotefile name used is not a valid file name on MPE XL, the file
transfer fails.
CAUTION If the local file name you specify already exists on your local
MPE XL system, FTP overwrites the existing file without warning.
Default File Attributes
Files copied from the remote host to MPE XL are saved with default file
attributes as follows:
File Type Record: Disc
size(bytes),type Space
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASCII 80, fixed 104,800
Binary 252,variable 104,800
Change File Building Parameters
You can change how a file is copied to your local system with the MPE XL
BUILD command parameters of the GET command using the following syntax:
ftp> GET remotefile localfile;buildparms
The supported BUILD command parameters are:
;REC=[-recsizebytes][,blkfactor[,[{F}][,{BINARY}] ] ] ]
{V} {ASCII}
[;DEV= device]
[;CODE= filecode]
[;DISC=[ numrec][,[ numextents][,[ initialloc] ] ] ]
The parameter REC= can also be specified in words (two bytes per word)
using a positive integer value. The default blkfactor size is one.
See Chapter 6, MPE XL File System and Data Transfers for more information
about FTP and supported BUILD command parameters. For additional
information about BUILD parameters, use MPE XL on-line help (HELP BUILD
PARMS), or see the MPE XL Commands Reference Manual.
Using file building parameters, you can transfer a file as follows:
ftp> GET remfile newfile;REC=-80,,F,ASCII
In the next example, using CODE=PROG defaults to a target file of fixed
binary, 128 words (which are the REC= default values):
ftp> GET filex file2;CODE=PROG
Transfer Files to Other Groups
From within FTP, you cannot change groups. To transfer files to other
groups in your account, you can exit from FTP, and re-log on into the
other group, or specify the group name as part of the localfile
specified.
For example, you could transfer a file named nsprog to NSTEST1 in GROUP1
as follows:
ftp> GET nsprog NSTEST1.GROUP1
Transfer Multiple Files
To transfer a group of files from the remote system to your MPE XL
system, use theMGET command.
For example, transfer a group of binary files beginning with the letter
"B" to your MPE XL system. First verify the files to be transferred:
ftp> DIR
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls -1 (192.50.42.32,50895) (0 bytes). total 33
drwxrwxrwx 1 mytest guest 10 Feb 13 18:44 bprog1
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mytest guest 100 Feb 12 18:42 bprog2
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mytest guest 100 Feb 12 18:42 bprog3
-rw-rw-rw- 1 mytest guest 110 Feb 13 18:43 bprog4
226 Transfer complete
nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
Transfer this group of binary files with interactive prompting off:
ftp> BINARY
200 Type set to I.
ftp> MGET b*
200 PORT command okay.
Opening data connection for bprog1 (192.50.42.32,56077) (nnn bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
nn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
200 PORT command okay.
Opening data connection for bprog2 (192.50.42.32,56077) (nnn bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
nn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
The sequence of commands are repeated for each file transferred.
Check that the files transferred:
ftp> :LISTF B@
FILENAME
BPROG1 BPROG2 BPROG3 BPROG4
