Another way of transferring data is to use the FTP program. Whereas data transfer with the
rcp command is better suited for automated procedures, FTP has more features to accom-
modate to a variety of conditions:
Line 1: ftp printserver1
Line 2: Name:{username}
Line 3: Password:{password}
Line 4: ftp>binary
Line 5: ftp>cd /u/spslib/applic5
Line 6: ftp>put myfile
Line 7: ftp>mput myf*
Line 8: ftp>put myfile.job newname.job
Line 9: ftp>quit
Explanation:
Line 1: Starts FTP. FTP establishes a connection with the print server (here
called "printserver1").
Line 2: FTP asks for the user name.
Line 3: FTP asks for the password.
Line 4: Switches the transfer mode to "binary".
Line 5: Sets the directory /u/spslib/applic5 on the server.
Line 6: Transfers the file "myfile" from the local workstation to the print server.
Line 7: Transfers all files selected with myf* from the local workstation to the
print server (mput = multiple put).
Line 8: Transfers file "myfile.job" to the print server and renames it
"newname.job".
Line 9: Quits FTP.
