File Transfer Client Program
The FTP program provides reliable data transfer between
cooperating computer systems. The FTP program startup options
are:
FTP [?] [-f filename] [-p filename]
[-ghinrv] [destination host]
? List this Help Text and Exit FTP
f filename Command File
g Wildcard Expansion Disabled
h FTP Help List
i Interactive Prompting Off
n AutoLogin Disabled on Connect
p filename Specify the Password Filespec
r Output Redirection Disabled
v Verbose Mode Disabled
The destination host specification may be the host name or host
ip number. If the connection is to be made to an alternate port
then follow the name/ip with the port number (decimal).
If the work file device, wf:, is not assigned then the pro-
gram will fail to execute the commands mget, mdel, or mls.
The FTP startup command file is:
run/single TCP:ftp
-hbp PAS:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6
The FTP program supports the following command line options:
? print local help information
ascii set ascii transfer type
bell toggle command completed beep
bget get a file in binary mode
binary set binary transfer type
bput put a file in binary mode
bye terminate ftp session and exit

> <filespec> redirect (m)dir or (m)ls response to a file
The commands bget, get, put, and send allow explicit renaming
of the files during the transfer by specifying the optional
destination file name:
bget/get/put/send [source name] [destination name]
File Transfer Client Program (little)
The FTPL program provides reliable data transfer between
cooperating computer systems. FTPL is a stripped version of the
FTP program for use on smaller systems. The FTPL program
startup options are:
FTPL [?] [-p filename] [-ghinrv] [destination host]
? List this Help Text and Exit FTPL
g Wildcard Expansion Disabled
h FTPL Help List
i Interactive Prompting Off
n AutoLogin Disabled on Connect
v Verbose Mode Disabled
The destination host specification may be the host name or host
ip number. If the connection is to be made to an alternate port
then follow the name/ip with the port number (decimal).
If the work file device, wf:, is not assigned then the pro-
gram will fail to execute the commands mget, mdel, or mls.
The FTPL startup command file is:
r/single ftpl
-hb -p sy:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6
The FTPL program supports the following command line options:
? print local help information
ascii set ascii transfer type
bell toggle command completed beep
bget get a file in binary mode
binary set binary transfer type
bput put a file in binary mode
bye terminate ftp session and exit

of the files during the transfer by specifying the optional
destination file name:
bget/get/put/send [source name] [destination name]
File Transfer Server Program
RFTP is a server program for remote FTP sessions into
TSX-Plus. The program startup options are:
RFTP [?] [-hmp filespec] [-aeruvyz]
? List the Help Text and Exit RFTP
a Attach to Service
e Monitor all RFTP Transactions
h Specify the Help Filespec
m Specify the Message Filespec
p Specify the Password Filespec
r Restart RFTP after Disconnect
u UNIX Style DIR Command
v Verbose Mode
y s Login Timeout in seconds
z s Inactivity Timeout in seconds
The program may be started interactively (for diagnostic pur-
poses) by the command file RFTP.COM:
run/single TCP:rftp
-rpyz PAS:/paswrd.dsk/paswrd.fil 15 600 ...
... ^1 ^2 ^3 ^4 ^5 ^6
The program is normally invoked by the TCPIP network server pro-
gram by the command file RFTP.SRV:
deassign
dismount ld0:
dismount ld1:
dismount ld2:
dismount ld3:
dismount ld4:
dismount ld5:
dismount ld6:
dismount ld7:
assign sy: wf:
mount ld6: dl1:paswrd.dsk
assign ld6: PAS:
mount ld7: dl1:tsxtcp.dsk
assign ld7: TCP:
run/single TCP:rftp
-aspyz 0 4 PAS:paswrd.fil 15 600
The RFTP help and message files are RFTP.HLP and RFTP.MSG
respectively. The h or m options may be used if these files are
not on the TCP: device. These files are created by the system
manager and are not required. The command file RFTHLP.COM uses
the subdirectories utility LDISKS to create a logical disk map
for inclusion in the RFTP.HLP file.
The -u option specifies that the 'LIST' command returns a
UNIX style directory listing rather than the default RT-11 style
directory format. This format is useful if the remote systems
are PC's using one of the window oriented FTP utilities such as
PROCOMM V3.0 (DataStorm Technologies). These utilities use the
unix access-rights string to determine whether the entries are
files or directories. The general form for the UNIX style
directory is:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 system user 1536 12 Jan 96 file.ext
drwxrwxrwx 1 system user 512000 01 Mar 96 subdir.dsk
