FTP User Commands on MPE/iX
FTP User Commands on MPE/iX
The following quick reference provides the syntax and usage of the FTP
user commands, listed in alphabetic order.
To stop a file transfer or directory listing in progress, you can [CTRL-Y].
You are prompted to exit FTP, cancel the transfer, or continue. From the
FTP prompt you can exit by entering QUIT or pressing the [Break] key.
:mpecommand From within an FTP session you can execute an
MPE/iX command or program by entering a colon (:)
followed by the command or program name. After the
command is executed, or the program is exited, you are
returned to your FTP session.
? A synonym for the HELP command.
APPEND localfile
[remotefile]
[;buildparms] Store data from localfile on the local system into
remotefile on the remote system. If remotefile is not
specified, localfile will be used as the remotefile name
as well. If the remote file exists, the data will be
appended to it; otherwise, the file will be created.
NOTE If the remote file does not exist, this command behaves the same as
PUT, and any specified build parameters (buildparms) will be used. But
if the file already exists, any buildparms will be ignored.
ASCII Sets the FTP file transfer type to ASCII. This is the
default when you first enter the FTP program.
BINARY Sets the FTP file transfer type to binary.
BYE A synonym for the QUIT command.
BYTESTREAM
(BYTE) Sets the FTP file transfer type to binary.
CASE When using the MPUT command, turns on or off the
feature to force resulting filenames to lower case. When
case is off, resulting file names are all upper case. The
default is off.
CD
remotedirectory Changes the working directory on the remote host to
the directory specified.
CLOSE Closes the remote connection but remains in the FTP
program.
