FTP Operation

"Procedure

To initiate an FTP session:

1.Start the FTP client program on your host. For example, on a UNIX host, type ftp, followed by the FrameSaver unit's IP address.

2.If a login and password are required (see Creating a Login in Chapter 5, Security and Logins), you are prompted to enter them. If not, press Enter.

The FTP prompt appears.

The starting directory is the root directory (/). Use standard FTP commands during the FTP session, as well as the following remote FTP commands.
