MPE/iX File Transfer Protocol
The MPE/iX FTP is an implementation of both the client and server
programs which conform to RFC959 and RFC1123. The MPE/iX FTP can
transfer files with FTP implementations on many other system types,
including MS-DOS, OS2, HP-UX, (AT&T, IBM & SUN) variations of UNIX,
POSIX, VAX/VMS, IBM/ MVS, HP-RTE and other MPE systems.
FTP/iX is supported over Internet Protocol (IP) based network and
operates over many different hardware links. These hardware links
include, Local Area Network links (LAN): IEEE 802.3, ETHERNET, IEEE 802.5
(Token Ring), FDDI, and Wide Area Network links (WAN): X.25.
FTP User (Client)
The MPE/iX FTP user can perform the following tasks:
* Connect to a remote host system
* Transfer or delete single or multiple files
* Rename single files on the remote system
* List or change remote directories
* Perform ASCII or binary file transfers
* Change file attributes (using BUILD parameters) for files
transferred to the MPE/iX system
The supported FTP user commands are summarized in the chapter on
"FTP User Commands: Quick Reference."
FTP Server
Remote users accessing the MPE/iX FTP server can perform the following
tasks:
* Establish a session on a remote MPE/iX host system
* Transfer or delete single or multiple files
* Rename single files on the remote MPE/iX system
* List or change remote MPE/iX hierarchical directories
* Perform ASCII or binary file transfers
