Overview
ARPA Services
ARPA Services
The ARPA services are a subset of the networking services originally
developed by the University of California at Berkeley for the Advanced
Research Projects Agency (ARPA). ARPA services have become a
de facto standard for multivendor network communication.MPE/iX
provides the Teletype Network Protocol (Telnet) and File Transfer
Protocol (FTP) ARPA services which enable users to communicate with
non-HP and HP systems using these services.
Telnet
The Telnet protocol provides the ARPA standard virtual terminal
connection between an HP 3000 and a remote host on the network.
FTP
FTP is an ARPA Service that allows users to transfer files among other
networked systems. FTP is the file transfer program that uses the
ARPA standard File Transfer Protocol (FTP). With FTP, you can also
perform file management operations.
FTP is based on the client-server model as shown in Figure 1-1. An FTP
user on a system (the client) accesses the remote host FTP server to
perform FTP tasks.
