File Transfer Interface
(BSCFTI)
Note
In this document, the term “Freeway” can mean either a Freeway
server or an embedded ICP. For the embedded ICP, also refer to
the user’s guide for your ICP and operating system (for example,
the ICP2432 User’s Guide for OpenVMS Alpha (DLITE Interface)).
The BSC File Transfer Interface consists of a set of procedure calls that are used by the
BSC User Interface (BSCTRAN) to send and receive files from Freeway. You may use
these calls from your own application by linking your program with the modules
BSCFTI.OBJ and BSCRTI.OBJ.
The BSC File Transfer Interface is the easiest interface for application programmers to
use. It performs all the error handling related to unexpected responses from Freeway.
Error handling is explained in detail in Chapter 5.
This chapter describes each BSCFTI procedure, and its associated parameters and
return codes. See Table 5–2 on page 95 for a complete list of the BSC File Transfer pro-
gram error codes.
Section 3.9 on page 70 shows two example programs calling BSCFTI routines from lan-
guages other than C.
