Testing the FTP User Interface and Server
Once you have FTP installed and running, you can test FTP in loopback
mode and to a remote system.
Test in Loopback Mode
You can test FTP in loopback mode by establishing an FTP session on your
local node as in the following sample session. In loopback, you are
accessing and seeing responses from the MPE/iX FTP server.
1. Run FTP.
Enter the following at the MPE/iX prompt:
:FTP.ARPA.SYS
2. Connect and Log On in Loopback.
Connect to your local node by entering the local node name. For example:
ftp> OPEN localnode
Enter a user account on your system, then the passwords when prompted:
ftp> Name(username): USERNAME.MYACCT
331 Password required for USERNAME.MYACCT [userpass][,acctpass][,grouppass]
Password: (enter password)
230 USER LOGGED ON
3. View Local Files.
List the files in the current group:
ftp> DIR
200 PORT command ok.
150 File LISTF opened; data connection will be opened
ACCOUNT = MYACCT GROUP= MYGROUP
FILENAME CODE ------------------LOGICAL RECORD-----------

4. Transfer a File.
Choose a file to transfer from your account, back to the same account
with a different target name:
ftp> GET NSCREEN2 TESTFILE
Check to see that the file transfer was successful by issuing an FTP LS
command:
ftp> LS
200 PORT command ok.
NSCREEN1

226 Transfer complete
nnn bytes received in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)

5. Exit from FTP.
End the session by entering the FTP command QUIT: ftp> QUIT
Test to A Remote System
You can follow the same steps to test FTP from MPE/iX to a remote system
by using the remote system IP address (or its node name) in the OPEN
command. Responses and displays from the remote system FTP server are
implementation dependent.
