host:

chapter for guidelines on specifying remote names.
Table 2-7 ftam Commands for Transferring Files
Command Description
append local_file [remote_file] Transmit the local_file to the remote host,
and append it to remote_file. If remote_file
does not exist, append is identical to put.
If remote_file is unspecified, ftam assigns
the local_file name to the remote_file
name. Example: ftam> append data1
alldata
get remote_file [local_file] orrecv remote_file
[local_file]
Copy remote_file to local_file. If local_file
is unspecified, ftam uses the specified
remote_file name as the local_file name.
Example: ftam> get denverdata
mget remote-files (Multiple-get) Copy remote-files from the remote system
to the local system. The new local files
have the same names as the remote files.
“Wildcard” file specification is not allowed.
Example: ftam> mget tmp1 tmp2
mput local-files (Multiple-put) Copy local-files from the local system to
the remote system. The remote files have
the same names as the local files.
“Wildcard” file specification is not allowed.
Example: ftam> mput new1 new2
put local_file [remote_file] orsend local_file
[remote_file]
Copy local_file to remote_file. If
