Using FmaFileUtil to work with FTP archives

FMA stores data in the archive in its own internal archive format. This prevents metadata from being lost as files are transferred from the NTFS-based Windows file server to the Linux archive. FmaFileUtil is a command line utility used for unpacking the envelope and restoring the local NTFS file.

The syntax for FmaFileUtil commands is as follows:

FmaFileUtil [options] command [command-options] arguments

The following options are available for FmaFileUtil:

Option

Description

 

 

-v

-L

-V

Writes verbose ERROR, WARNING, or INFO messages to the log file.

 

 

-H

Displays usage information for the command.

 

 

If none of these options are used, all ERROR messages are written to stdout.

The FmaFileUtil pack and unpack commands are both available.
