User FTP Documentation                          Detailed Command Listing


RESET
   Takes no arguments. Causes the user process to close all connections
   (if necessary), all files (if necessary), and reset the programs
   parameters to their defaults.

DDT
   If DDT is loaded, just starts DDT. If DDT is not loaded, it will load
   DDT and then start it at its initial start-up location.  This command
   will casue an abnormal interrupt if DDT is not found.

LIST (file group) <remote file group> (to file) <local file>
   Esentially causes the remote server to do a directory command. The
   default is *.* and since the listing will come on the data connection,
   the user must specify a local file. A sample line might look like the
   following: !list (file group) *.* (going to file) tty: [ok]

SOCKET <socket descriptor>
   Will accept a socket descriptor for the data to go to or come from. At
   present it is NOT IMPLEMENTED because we have not decided on the
   format of the command to the server.

ALLOCATE <decimal number of bytes>
   Accepts as its argument a decimal number of bytes (of the specified
   size) telling the server how many bytes of storage to reserve for the
   next store of append.

QUIT
   Takes no arguments. Returns the console to the EXEC. The program may
   be continued with no harm done.

   This command allows the user to send arbitrary strings to the remote
   server. At present, when talking to a TENEX site, it is only useful
   for doing the 'MAIL' command.  Other sites may have help commands of
   whatever.

HOST <ARPANET host name of number>
   Allows the user to specify an ARPANET host without actually connecting
   to the host. This specified host will be the ont that is connected to
   (or the attempt will be made anyway) when the next 'immediate' command
   is executed. EG: LOGIN, RETREIVE, STORE, LIST, etc.

USER (name is) <remote user's name>
   Sets the user name for the remote system. Useful for systems that
   require no password for the specified name.  Does nothing until an
   user must be 'logged into' the remote system. The programm knows this
   and so will not let the user execute any commands (RETREIVE, STORE,
   APPEND, LIST, STATUS, RENAME, DELETE) until he has at least specified
   a remote user name. The LOGIN command does this as does this command.



                                                                [Page 6]

User FTP Documentation                          Detailed Command Listing


STATUS (of the) <sub-cmd> (at host) <ARPANET host>
   Accepts as its argument one of the following sub-commands:
  SERVICE (at host) <ARPANET host name or number>: Attempts to
   perform the ICP to the specified host. Does not disturb any existing
   connections.
  <ARPANET host name or number>: See description of STATUS SERVICE
  above.

  STATUS (of file) <remote file group>: Similar to the LIST
   command described above except that the listing does not gone back on
   the data connection but on the TELNET connection. See LIST command for
   more details.
  <COMMAND-TERMINATOR>: Just sneds the STAT command.
   Typically, is good for finding out where your are and perhaps who you
   are.

PASSWORD (is) <passowrd for remote user's name>
   Sets the password for the remote user's name. It is NOT echoed and
   does nothing until the next 'immediate' command is executed.

ACCOUNT (is) <account number or string>
   Accepts a string of number that can be charged for any activity the
   user specifies. EG: STORE, RETREIVE or APPEND. Useful only for systems
   that require this information of course. Also does nothing until the
   next immediate command is executed.

LOGIN <user name> <password> <optional account>
   the format of this command is identical to the TENEX login command. It
   accepts a user name, password, and an optional account number. If no
   host has been specified, it will ask for the host to be connected to.
   This command will cause the ICP to take place if necessary.

BYTE (size is) <decimal byte size>
   This command sets the byte size for the data connection.  The default
   byte size is 8 bytes.

Type (is) <type descriptor>
   Takes as its argument one of the following subcommands:
  TENEX: Shorthand that sets TYPE IMAGE and BYTE 36.
  EBCDIC: Says that the data will be Ebcdic.
  PRINT: Says that the data is an Ascii print file with ASA vertical
   format controls.
  LOCAL: Forces the user and server FTP to accept whatever
   byte size the user has specified. For the present, this type is
   treated the same as for IMAGE TYPE.
  IMAGE: Does the same as LOCAL. Just forces the user and server FTP to
   accept the specified byte size without doing any translation as is
   done for ASCII type. For most efficient usage of this command, the



                                                                [Page 7]

User FTP Documentation                          Detailed Command Listing


   matching byte size should be BYTE 36 when using TENEX sites as
   servers.
  ASCII: Sets TYPE ASCII and 8 bit bytes. Useful for text files.
   NOTE: Of the above sub-commands, only PRINT and EBCDIC are not
   implemented yet.

STRUCTURE (is) <file structure descriptor>
   Accepts as its argument one of the following sub-commands:
  REDORD: Says the data on the data connection has record
   structure information contained in it. NOTE: Since TENEX NOT support
   record structured files per se, this mode only useful for sending text
   files to or retreiving text files from non-TENEX sites. The <EOL> in
   these files is converted to the TELNET EOR code for transmission and
   EOR to <EOL> etc. for reception.

  File: Says the data stream has no record structure information in it.

TENEX
   See description under TYPE TENEX.

ASCII
   See description under TYPE ASCII.

VERBOSE
   This command sets the command completion/no completion flag. The
   program assumes the NO VERBOSE mode and thus does not complete
   commands when <space> or <eol> is used as a command terminator It also
   causes the noise words to be typed if in the verbose mode.
