Connecting to a Remote System
To establish a connection to a remote system, you can either include the host name or address in
the FTP run command, or you can enter an open command at the ftp> prompt; for example, the
following command connects to a system named warehs1:
ftp> open warehs1
Before you connect to another system (unless you are using the proxy command), you must close
the current session by using either the close or disconnect command.
Logging On to a Remote System
There are three ways to log on to a remote system:
•
You can disable automatic logon and logon prompting by including -n in the FTP run command
and using the user command to log on after you start FTP.
•
You can create an entry in the FTPCSTM file that FTP can use to perform the logon operation
automatically either when you start FTP (and specify a host) or when you enter an open
command. If you use this method, you cannot include -n in the FTP run command.
•
If your logon default subvolume does not contain an FTPCSTM file or the FTPCSTM file does
not contain an entry for the host you specify when you connect to a remote system, FTP
prompts you for logon information. In this case, you must also omit -n from the FTP run
command.
