Introduction to Internet Services
Chapter 1 19
The ftp Service
The ftp (File Transfer Protocol) service copies files among hosts on the
network that support Internet Services. It runs on the client host and
supports ASCII, binary, and tenex file transfer protocol types. ASCII is
the default type. Whenever ftp establishes a connection between two
similar systems, it automatically switches to the binary type. For more
information, type man 1 ftp or man 1M ftpd at the HP-UX prompt.
The tftp Service
The tftp (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) service, used with bootp to
enable some diskless systems (such as the HP 700/X terminal), transfers
files containing bootstrap code, fonts, or other configuration information.
You must invoke the tftpd server via inetd. Type man 1 tftp or man 1M
tftpd at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
The telnet Command
The telnet command allows you to log on to a remote host that supports
Internet Services. Type man 1 telnet or man 1M telnetd at the HP-UX
prompt for more information.
R-Commands
You can access any remote machine by using the following commands:
• rexec
You can connect to a remote UNIX host on the network and execute
specific commands using rexec. It uses a library routine and the
rexecd daemon for this task. Type man 3N rexec or man 1M
rexecd at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
• rcp
You can copy files, directory subtrees or a combination of files and
directory subtrees between UNIX hosts using rcp. Type man 1 rcp
at the HP-UX prompt for more information.
• rlogin
You can log on from one UNIX system to another network using
rlogin. Type man 1 rlogin or man 1M rlogind at the HP-UX
prompt for more information.
