FTP

FTP (1)

`fortune' and that file already exists, the target name `fortune.1' will be used. If fortune.1 already exists, the target name `fortune.2' will be tried. This will continue with extensions 1 through 99; if all versions of the file already exist, the transfer will fail. The unique file name will be displayed if the transfer succeeds. By default, sunique is off.

system

Show the type of operating system running on the remote host.

tenex Set the data representation type to tenex. This corresponds to the local or logical byte size type. The only byte size currently supported is 8, making this type virtually the same as binary.

trace Toggle packet tracing. Packet tracing is turned off by default.

type [type-name]

Display the data representation type of the file to be transfered (no argu- ments), or set it to type-name. Valid types are ascii (default), binary, ebcdic, image, and tenex (local byte size). The binary and image types are identical. The ebcdic type is not currently supported. The tenex type, in which the logical byte size is 8, is virtually the same as binary.

umask [mask]

Display (no arguments) or set the umask on the remote host per the umask(1) command.

user login [password [account]]

Log in to the remote FTP server as login. Ftp will prompt for the password and account if they are required and not specified.

verbose

Toggle verbose mode. When enabled, all responses from the FTP server are displayed to the user as well as statistics regarding the efficiency of each file transfer. By default, verbose is enabled for an interactive session and disabled for a background or batch session.

?[command]

A synonym for help.

$ mname [arg ...]

Invoke the macro mname with the specified arguments.

![command]

Invoke a shell on the local host. To return to ftp, exit from the shell with CTRL-D. If an argument is specified, that command is executed and the shell will exit automatically.

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status is zero for normal termination, a positive number for error termination.
