type
Use the type command to set the data representation type used for data transfer and storage.
type { ascii | binary | tenex }
type-name
specifies the data representation type. If you omit type-name, the default type is ascii.
See the ascii and binary command descriptions for additional information.
Examples
To change the type to binary, enter the following command:
ftp> type binary
ftp>
You can also use the binary command to set this type.
To reset the type to the default value, enter the following command:
ftp> type
Using ascii mode to transfer files.
user
Use the user command to identify yourself to the remote system.
user user-name [ [ password ] account ]
user-name
is the user name or user ID by which you are known on the remote system.
password
is your user password for the remote system. Omit the password if you do not want it to appear
on your screen. If you do not specify a password and the server requires one, FTP prompts you
to provide one. FTP does not display what you type in response to the prompt.
When logging on to a NonStop host, you can specify a space for the password required by
FTP if you do not have a password defined on the NonStop system.
account
is the name or number of your account on the remote system. If you omit account and the
FTP server requires one, FTP prompts you for the account.
If you do not turn off the automatic logon when you start your FTP session, the process initiated by
this command occurs automatically when you connect to a system. For more information on remote
accounts, see
“Logging On to a Remote System” (page 41) .
Example
The following command identifies a user named erin whose password is ejmonly and whose
account is sales.
ftp> user erin ejmonly sales
verbose
Use the verbose command to turn verbose mode on or off. This command operates as a toggle.
verbose
In verbose mode, all responses from the FTP server are displayed on your terminal, and statistics
regarding the efficiency of a file transfer are reported when the transfer is complete.
When you start an FTP session, verbose is on.
