The ARPA services are a subset of the networking services originally developed by the University of California at Berkeley for the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). ARPA services have become a de facto standard for multivendor network communication.MPE/iX provides the Teletype Network Protocol (Telnet) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) ARPA services which enable users to communicate with non-HP and HP systems using these services.

Telnet

The Telnet protocol provides the ARPA standard virtual terminal connection between an HP 3000 and a remote host on the network.

FTP

FTP is an ARPA Service that allows users to transfer files among other networked systems. FTP is the file transfer program that uses the ARPA standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP). With FTP, you can also perform file management operations.

FTP is based on the client-server model as shown in Figure 1-1 “FTP Client-Server Model”. An FTP user on a system (the client) accesses the remote host FTP server to perform FTP tasks.
