Use the GET command to copy a file from
the remote host to your local MPE/iX system. FTP does not delete
the remote copy of the file. Enter the GET command
followed by the file name of the remote file, followed by the name
of the file you want to copy to on your local system.
ftp> GET remotefile localfile |
If you do not specify the localfile
name, the file will be transferred with the remotefile
name specified:
If the remotefile name used is
not a valid file name on MPE/iX, the file transfer fails.
 |
| |
|
 | CAUTION: If the local file name you specify already exists
on your local MPE/iX system, FTP overwrites the existing file without
warning. |

Default File Attributes |
|
Files copied from the remote host to MPE/iX are saved with
default file attributes as follows:
| File Type | Record: size (bytes), type | Disk Space |
|---|
| ASCII | 80, fixed | 204,800 |
| Binary | 256, fixed | 204,800 |
| BYTESTREAM | 1, byte | 16,384,000 |
- ASCII
80 Bytes Fixed = Default record length for a terminal
screen padded with blanks.
- Binary
256 Bytes Fixed = Default record length for a MPE
executable program file.
Changing File Building Parameters |
|
You can change how a file is copied to your local system with
the MPE/iX BUILD command parameters of the GET
or PUT command using the following syntax:
ftp> GET remotefile localfile;buildparms |
The supported BUILD command parameters
are:
:REC=[-rcsizebytes][,blkfactor[,[{F}][,{BINARY}]]]]
{V} {ASCII}
{B}
[;DEV=device]
[;CODE=filecode]
[;DISC=[numrec][,[numextents][,[initialloc]]]] |
The parameter REC= can also
be specified in words (two bytes per word) using a positive integer
value. The default blkfactor size is
one.
HP ARPA FTP supports a subset of the MPE/iX build parameters
implemented by the MPE/iX BUILD command. Accordingly,
many of the build parameter defaults are overridden by FTP. The
FTP build parameter defaults are configured in the ASCII file BLDPARMS.ARPA.SYS
and may by modified as desired. Also, users may make local copies
and set their own defaults via a file equation like the following.
:FILE BLDPARMS.ARPA.SYS=MYFILE |
See Chapter 6 “MPE/iX File System and Data Transfers” for
more information about FTP and supported BUILD
command parameters. For additional information about BUILD
parameters, use MPE/iX online help (HELP BUILD PARMS),
see the MPE/iX Commands Reference Manual,
or read the BLDPARMS.ARPA.SYS file,
for more information.
Using file building parameters, you can transfer a file as
follows:
ftp> GET remfile newfile;REC=-80,,F,ASCII |
In the next example, using CODE=PROG
defaults to a target file of fixed binary, 128 words (which are
the REC= default values):
ftp> GET filex file2;CODE=PROG |
Transferring Files to Other Groups |
|
To transfer files to other groups in your account, you can
exit from FTP, and re-log on into the other group, or specify the
group name as part of the localfile specified.
For example, you could transfer a file named nsprog
to NSTEST1 in GROUP1
as follows:
ftp> GET nsprog NSTEST1.GROUP1 |
Transferring Multiple Files |
|
To transfer a group of files from the remote system to your
MPE/iX system, use the MGET command.
For example, transfer a group of binary files beginning with
the letter "B" to your MPE/iX system. First verify
the files to be transferred:
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls -l (123.50.42.32,50895) (0 bytes). total 33 |
drwxrwxrwx 1 myname guest 10 Feb 13 18:44 bprog1 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 100 Feb 12 18:42 bprog2 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 100 Feb 12 18:42 bprog3 |
-rw-rw-rw- 1 myname guest 110 Feb 13 18:43 bprog4 |
nnn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec) |
Transfer this group of binary files with interactive prompting
off:
ftp> BINARY
200 Type set to 1.
ftp> MGET b*
200 PORT command okay.
Opening data connection for bprog1 (123.50.42.32,56077) (nnn bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
nn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
200 PORT command okay.
Opening data connection for bprog2 (123.50.42.32,56077) (nnn bytes).
226 Transfer complete.
nn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec) |
The sequence of commands are repeated for each file transferred.
Check that the files transferred:
ftp> :LISTF b@
FILENAME
PROG1 PROG2 PROG3 PROG4 |
