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 1:

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

  :sh

  shell/iX> ls bytestrm

Example 2:

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

  vi bytestrm
This is a bytestrm test data file. 

  :wq
  "bytestrm" [New file] 1 lines, 34 characters



  ftp> put bytestrm ./bytestrm
  200 PORT command ok.
  150 File: ./bytestrm;rec=,,b opened; data connection will be opened
  226 Transfer complete.
  35 bytes sent in 0.00 seconds (64.73) Kbytes/sec)

  ftp> dir ./bytestrm
  200 PORT command ok.
  150 File: LISTFILE ./bytestrm,2 opened; data connection will be opened

  PATH= /SYS/PUB/

  CODE  ------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------  ----SPACE----  FILENAME

            1B  BA          35    2048007   1       16  1  8  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 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.
