Specifying File and Directory Names

This section covers the way you specify both local and remote ﬁle and

directory names.

Specifying Local Names

Specify local ﬁle and directory names with the usual HP-UX syntax and

conventions.

Specifying Remote Names

Remote ﬁle and directory names have three elements, as described in

Table 3-2.

Table 3-2 Name Elements

These three elements are arranged in the following form:

user@host:name

Notice the punctuation between elements. This is an example of a legal

ﬁle name:

betty@denver:memos/mymemo

Element Description

user The login name that will be used to access the remote host.

host The name of the remote host. This can take one of three forms:

• An alias, which is easiest and most common;

• A directory distinguished name; or

• A presentation address.

Because the second two are used infrequently, this guide does not

examine them; refer to the online man pages for additional information.

name The ﬁle or directory name. See “Notes About Remote File and Directory

Names” following this section for important details.
