Paradyne 9720, 9788 manual Initiating an FTP Session, Command Definition

7. Operation and Maintenance

Initiating an FTP Session

Initiate an FTP session to a FrameSaver node in the same way you would initiate an FTP to any other IP-addressable device.

NOTE:

Loading a configuration with many DLCIs from option area Customer Configuration 1 or 2 into the Current Configuration area takes time. Allow a minute or more for the downloaded file to be put into the unit’s currently active configuration.

Procedure

To initiate an FTP session:

1.Start the FTP client program on the 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 for the User Interface in Chapter 6, 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.

Command	Definition
bin	Places the FTP session in binary-transfer mode.
cd directory	Change the current directory on the FrameSaver node to the
	specified directory.
dir [directory]	Print a listing of the directory contents in the specified
	directory. If no directory is specified, the current one is used.

put file1 [file2]	Copy file1 from a local directory on the host to file 2 in the
