To follow the same steps as the example, make sure you have
the following:
Remote logon name and passwords
Remote system internet protocol (IP) address
Create or have available a simple text file of type
ASCII to transfer to the remote
system.
Step 1: Run FTP |
 |
After you have entered your MPE/iX user account, enter:
:FTP.ARPA.SYS
A banner similar to the following is displayed:
Transfer Protocol [A0002001] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1995
ftp> |
Step 2: Connect and Log into the Remote Host |
|
At the ftp> prompt, enter
the OPEN command followed by the remote host
IP address:
220 sysname FTP server (Version $Revision: 15.14 $ $Date: 89/09/23 11:35:11 $) ready. |
Enter the remote user account and password when prompted:
Name (username) myname
331 Password required for myname.
PASSWORD: (enter password)
230 User myname logged in.
ftp> |
Step 3: View Your Local Directory |
|
Enter the MPE/iX command LISTF, preceded
by a colon (:) as follows:
ACCOUNT = PUB GROUP = MYGROUP] |
FILENAME CODE -----------LOGICAL RECORD----------- |
NSCREEN1 256B FA 800 10000 |
NSCREEN2 80B FA 500 14000 |
NSPROGX PROG 1934W VB 4551 9480 |
Step 4: Transfer a File from MPE/iX to the Remote
Host |
|
Select a simple ASCII text file, for example, README
from your list of files. Transfer your local file to the remote
host file named readme1 using the
PUT command as follows:
ftp> PUT README readme1
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for readme1 (123.50.42.32,50894)
226 Transfer complete
nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds: (nn.nn Kbytes/sec) |
Step 5: View the Remote Directory |
|
Enter the DIR command at the ftp>prompt.
A listing of the files in the remote working directory is displayed.
The file you transferred should be in the list. In this example,
readme1 is the third file in the
listing.
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls -l (123.50.42.32,50895) (0 bytes). total 13 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 10 Feb 13 18:44 cathy1 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 100 Feb 12 18:42 cathy2 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 110 Feb 13 18:43 readme1 |
nnn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec) |
Step 6: Transfer a File from the Remote Host to MPE/iX |
|
From the remote directory listing, choose an ASCII type file
to transfer. For this exercise, you could use the file you just
transferred and copy it back to your local system with a new name.
Enter the GET command followed by the name
of the remote file you want to transfer and then the filename you
want to copy into on your local system. For example:
150 Opening data connection for readme2 (123.50.42.32,50896) (2997 bytes). |
nnn bytes received in n.nn seconds: (n.nn Kbytes/sec) |
You can verify that the file transferred to your account by
entering a :LISTF command:
ACCOUNT = PUB GROUP = MYGROUP] |
FILENAME CODE -----------LOGICAL RECORD----------- |
NSCREEN1 256B FA 800 10000 |
NSCREEN2 80B FA 500 14000 |
NSPROGX PROG 1934W VB 4551 9480 |
Step 7: Exiting the FTP User Program |
|
When you are finished transferring files or performing directory
operations, enter QUIT.
ftp> QUIT
221 Goodbye.
END OF PROGRAM
: |
When you issue a QUIT command, you are
logged off the remote host, and the remote connection is closed.
You are returned to your MPE/iX session prompt.
The Next Step |

The previous example showed the steps for a simple file transfer
session. The Chapter 4 “Using FTP”
section, provides more detailed task descriptions of the steps you
followed in the simple session, and other features of FTP.
The Chapter 2 “FTP User Commands: Quick Reference” section,
provides syntax and brief command descriptions for FTP listed in
alphabetic order.
