MPE/iX FTP users need the ARPA domain names, IP addresses,
or NS node names and logon accounts for remote systems they can
access with FTP user commands.
To allow users to use alias names, you can identify remote
systems in the network directory as NS node names. Standard ARPA
domain names are supported. Another method for providing alias names
is suggesting users create MPE/iX CI variables containing the IP
addresses for frequently accessed systems or using UDCs or command
files (see "Using FTP" in the HP ARPA
File Transfer Protocol User's Guide for examples.)
