The HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol product (FTP) can be used with systems supporting the ARPA FTP service such as other HP systems, UNIX systems, and non-UNIX systems.

FTP is supported over LAN, Token Ring, FDDI, 100VG-AnyLAN, 100Base-T, X.25, and NS Point-to-Point networks.

The MPE/iX FTP user can perform the following tasks:

  • Connect to a remote host system

  • Rename single files on the remote system

  • List or change remote directories

  • Perform ASCII, binary, or bytestream file transfers

  • Change file attributes (using BUILD parameters) for files transferred to the MPE/iX system

The supported FTP user commands are summarized in Chapter 4 “Managing FTP” in this manual. Also see the HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol User's Guide for more information.
