If the connection is successful, a Ready message will be displayed.
After a successful connection, the user is prompted for a login name and password. The default is the
client's login name. The Jetdirect FTP server will allow any user name. Passwords are ignored.
If login is successful, a message “230” will be displayed on the client system. In addition, the available
HP Jetdirect ports for printing will be displayed. HP Jetdirect print servers supported in this guide provide
a single port (Port 1). For a typical FTP printing session, see “
Example of an FTP Session
on page 168.”
Ending the FTP Session
To end an FTP session, type quit or bye.
NOTE: Prior to ending an FTP session, a Ctrl C command is recommended to ensure the data
connection is closed.
