Commercial Systems Division The enhancement "FTP/iX support for Large Files" which is part of MPE/iX Release 6.5 provides the capability for FTP on MPE/iX to transfer files of size greater than 4GB. This enhancement is an offshoot of the support for Large Files in MPE/iX 6.5. Until MPE/iX 6.0, you could transfer files up to 4GB in size through FTP. With this new enhancement, FTP/iX is now capable of transferring files beyond 4GB also. FeaturesThe MPE/iX Large File types which can be transferred through FTP/iX are:
User InterfaceThe syntax for FTP/iX commands to transfer Large File remains the same as for non-Large Files. There are no changes in the command syntax given by the user. There are few minor changes with respect to user interface output to indicate to the user that the FTP/iX server is large-file capable. When FTP/iX tries to talk to a Large File compatible server, the following is the snap shot: -------------------<Start>---------------------------- Connected to hanuman (15.70.188.86). (FTPINFO 40) Name(manager): manager.sys ---> USER manager.sys 230 User logged on ---> SYST 215 MPE/iX LF system type. <------- Note 'LF' here Remote system type is MPE/iX ---> SITE MPE/iX FTP Client [A0010001] 200 MPE/iX command ok. ---> TYPE I 200 Type set to I. -------------------<End>----------------------------It prints "MPE/iX LF system type" instead "MPE/iX system type". FTP/iX cannot transfer a Large File if it is pre-6.5 Client/Server. The following is one of the snap shots when it tries to transfer a Large File to a non-compatible server. ftp> put ksm64001 Server Not compatible to transfer largefile Data Transfer Request Failed. (FTPERR 13) ftp> InstallationThere are no changes in the installation procedures.
