Building and Transferring a Bytestream File

These examples create a bytestream file in the POSIX shell and MPE namespace with the vi editor and then transfers that file to a remote system with FTP.

Example A-11 Example 1:

File transfer HP3000 MPE/iX to HP3000 MPE/iX system.

:sh

Example A-12 Example 2:

File transfer HPUX (unix) system to HP3000 MPE/iX system.

vi bytestrm

This is a bytestrm test data file.

:wq

ftp> put bytestrm ./bytestrm

ftp> dir ./bytestrm

226 Transfer complete.




	NOTE: When transferring a Bytestream file from UNIX to a MPE/iX system it is necessary to specify `";rec=,,b".` This is required as a result of FTP/iX supporting a default of "fixed" file type rather than bytestream which is the default on UNIX and POSIX systems.

Example A-13 Example 3:

File transfer HP 3000 MPE/iX system to HPUX (UNIX) system.

ftp> bytestream
200 Type set to L (byte size 8).
ftp> put ./bytestrm
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for ./bytestrm.
226 Transfer complete.
35 bytes sent in 0.00 seconds (+INF Kbytes/sec)
 
ftp> dir ./bytestrm
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
