Transferring Remote Host files to MPE/iX
Use the GET command to copy a file from the remote host to your local MPE/iX system. FTP
does not delete the remote copy of the file. Enter the GET command followed by the file
name of the remote file, followed by the name of the file you want to copy to on your local
system.
ftp> GET remotefile localfile
If you do not specify the localfile name, the file will be transferred with the remotefile
name specified:
If the
remotefile name used is not a valid file name on MPE/iX, the file transfer fails.
ftp GET remotefile
CAUTION If the local file name you specify already exists on your local MPE/iX system,
FTP overwrites the existing file without warning.
Default File Attributes
Files copied from the remote host to MPE/iX are saved with default file attributes as
follows:
File Type Record: size
(bytes), type
Disk Space
ASCII 80, fixed 204,800
Binary 256, fixed 204,800
BYTESTREAM 1, byte 16,384,000
