FTAM/9000 User's Guide

20 Chapter 2
Using Interactive FTAM
This chapter describes how to use the ftam program to transfer, access,
and manage files. This program transfers files between hosts (both
UNIX
1
–based and other systems alike) that support FTAM services. It
can also be used to perform remote file management operations.
The ftam program is patterned after ftp, an Internet service that allows
you to copy files between hosts on a network. Note, however, that there
are differences between ftp and ftam , such as changing file attributes,
and optional directory support. These differences will be apparent to
users already familiar with ftp.
