Creating FTP archives
On a managed volume, a managed file contains file attributes, security information, HSM metadata, and the
default data stream. In FTP archives, the managed file is stored in an envelope.
Because of how the managed file is stored, no direct file access is available except through a packing and
unpacking utility. For more information, see
Using FmaFileUtil to work with FTP archives on page 37.
Preparing FTP archives for FMA
FTP archives require additional configuration before they can be used with FMA. The RSA-FTP module
uses FTP commands including the following, which are not supported on all servers:
• STOR (Defined in RFC765)
• RETR (Defined in RFC765)
• MDTM (Extension)
• SIZE (Extension)
The steps to make these commands available and to configure FTP archives to work with FMA vary
depending on the FTP server and operating system, as described in the following sections. You must perform
one of the following procedures.
