Data Connection

A second connection, a data connection, is created each time a file is transferred between the client and the FTP server. The client controls the creation of a data connection by issuing the commands that require a data connection (such as FTP ls, dir or put commands).

Although the ls and dir commands are always accepted, the HP JetDirect FTP server supports only one data connection for printing at a time.

The transmission mode for an FTP data connection with the HP JetDirect print server is always in stream mode, which marks the end-of-file by closing the data connection.

Once a data connection is established, the file transfer type (ASCII or binary) can be specified. Although some clients may attempt to autonegotiate a transfer type, the default is ASCII. To specify the transfer type, enter the bin or ascii command at the FTP prompt.

FTP Login

To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt:

ftp <IP address>

where <IP address> is the valid IP address or node name configured for the HP JetDirect print server.
