HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol
The HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol product (FTP) can be used with systems
supporting the ARPA FTP service such as other HP systems, UNIX systems,
and non-UNIX systems.
FTP is supported over IEEE 802.3 and de facto standard Ethernet local
area networks (LANs), and X.25 wide area networks.
