Using the FTP Server
More Information About FTP and MPE/iX
ftp> USER session1,username/userpass.acctname/acctpass,groupname/grouppass
Press the return key when prompted for passwords.
The following example shows: no session, and a password for the account only:
ftp> USER myname.myacct/acctpass
331 Password required for MYNAME.MYACCT/ACCTPASS
[userpass][,acctpass][,grouppass]
Password: (press return )
230 USER LOGGED ON
ftp> pwd
257 “/MYACCT/PUB” is the current directory.
257 “,MYNAME,MYACCT,PUB” is the current session
NOTE Each password can only be entered once. For example, if you enter the
account password as part of the USER string, you cannot re-enter it at the
password prompt.
If you enter passwords as part of the logon string, they are displayed in the
message text of the password prompt.
Groups
An MPE/iX user account can contain many groups, each containing files. A group is
comparable to a directory, but only to one level. Unlike UNIX systems, the MPE/iX file
system is not hierarchical.
The MPE/iX account manager can assign a default group for a user account. For example,
the user account MYNAME.ARPACCT is assigned a default group PUB (with no group
password). The user logon is as follows:
ftp> USER MYNAME/userpw.ARPACCT/acctpw
331 Password required for MYNAMEUSPERPW.ARPACCT/ACCTPW
[userpass][,acctpass][,grouppass]
Password: (press return )
230 USER LOGGED ON
ftp> pwd
257 “/ARPACCT/PUB” is the current directory.
257 “,MYNAME,ARPACCT,PUB” is the current session
Changing Groups
The FTP CD command is supported on the MPE/iX FTP server as of release 4.5. To change
groups you CD as follows:
ftp> pwd
257 “/MYACCT/GROUP1” is the current directory.
257 “,MYNAME.MYACCT,GROUP1” is the current session.
ftp> cd ../GROUP2
250 CWD file action successful.
ftp> pwd
257 “/MYACCT/GROUP2” is the current directory.
257 “,MYNAME.MYACCT,GROUP1” is the current session.
