June 1992 Preface The HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol product provides the ARPA file transfer protocol (FTP) service to MPE/iX users. The chapters in this manual are organized as follows: * Chapter 1, Overview, is a brief overview of ARPA Services and what is provided on MPE/iX. * Chapter 2, Verify Installation and Update LAN Configuration, describes how to verify FTP has been installed and the steps for updating the LAN for Ethernet support. * Chapter 3, Starting FTP, describes how to start FTP and test a connection. * Chapter 4, Managing FTP, describes FTP users, the FTP commands available for both MPE/iX users and remote users, and an overview of FTP network architecture. * Chapter 5, Troubleshooting, provides a troubleshooting tree to help the network manager resolve FTP problems. * Appendix A, Error Messages, provides a list of possible errors with meaning, cause, and action. * Appendix B, Using the FTP Server, provides information for remote users accessing the MPE/iX FTP server. * Appendix C, PING/XL Utility, describes how to use the PING/XL tool to aid in troubleshooting connection problems. * Glossary provides terms and definitions for ARPA services and networking. Changes to This Manual: Edition 3 This manual has been updated to reflect support of ARPA domain name syntax. Also, the name of MPE XL has been changed to MPE/iX. MPE/iX, Multiprogramming executive with Integrated POSIX, is the latest in a series of forward-compatible operating systems for the HP 3000 line of computers. MPE/iX is a superset of MPE XL. All programs written for MPE XL will run without change under MPE/iX. You can continue to use MPE XL system documentation, although it may not refer to features added to the operating system to support POSIX (for example, hierarchical directories). Finally, you may encounter references to MPE V, which is the operating system for HP 3000s not based on the PA-RISC architecture. MPE V software can be run on the PA-RISC (Series 900) HP 3000s in what is known as compatibility mode. Syntax Conventions nonitalics Words in syntax statements which are not in italics must be entered exactly as shown. Punctuation characters other than brackets, braces and ellipses must also be entered exactly as shown. For example: EXIT; italics Words in syntax statements which are in italics denote a parameter which must be replaced by a user-supplied variable. For example: CLOSE filename Bold type Words in examples that are in bold type denote user input. For example: QUIT quit [ ] An element inside brackets in a syntax statement is optional. Several elements stacked inside brackets means the user may select any one or none of these elements. For example: [A] [B] You may select A or B or C or none. [C] { } When several elements are stacked within braces in a syntax statement, the user must select one of those elements. For example: {A} {B} User must select A or B or C. {C} , A delimiter preceding a parameter in a syntax statement indicates that the delimiter must be supplied whenever (a)that patameter is included or (b)that parameter is omitted and any other parameter that follows is included. For example: itema[,itemb][,itemc] means the following are allowed: itema itema,itemb itema,itemb,itemc itema,,itemc Key Cap A string enclosed by brackets may be used to indicate a key on the terminal's keyboard. For example, Enter indicates the carriage return key. CTRL-char Control characters are indicated by CTRL followed by the character. For example, CTRL-y means the user presses the control key and the character y simultaneously.
