wrap

FTP inserts a line feed character after receiving the 239th ASCII character in a line. This is the
only way to ensure that you will receive all the data in a file with lines longer than 239
characters

Example

For incoming files, to cause FTP to ignore all characters after the 239th in each line, type:

ftp> aslinemode cut

bell

Use the bell command to turn on (or off) a mechanism to sound a bell after each file transfer
completes. This command operates as a toggle.

bell

Example

To change the setting of the bell toggle, enter:

ftp> bell
Bell mode on.

binary

Use the binary command to set the data transfer type to binary. Use the binary transfer type when
you want to transfer binary files, such as program files. Since the ASCII transfer type is the default
value when you start an FTP client session, you will have to explicitly enter the binary command
before transferring binary files. You must have a connection established with an FTP server (called
an FTP session) before you can issue the binary command. See the description of the ascii command
if you want to transfer ASCII files or structured files. The get and put commands describe how to
transfer files.

binary

Example

To change the data transfer type to binary, enter:

ftp> binary

bye

Use the bye command to disconnect from the FTP server and exit FTP.

bye

Example

To disconnect from a remote system and exit FTP, enter the bye command:

ftp> bye
TACL 7>

case

Use the case command to turn on (or off) case mapping of remote file names during an operation
initiated by a get or mget command. This command operates as a toggle.

case

When you start an FTP session, case is off. If you transfer a file to the local system, the uppercase
letters in the remote file name are not changed to lowercase letters.

If you turn case on, remote file names having all uppercase letters are stored on the subvolume
with lowercase letters.
