HP Integrity NonStop H-Series - Manual (Page 92)

7 Communicating With the FTP Server
HP NonStop TCP/IP applications include an FTP server (ftpserv) that you can connect to while using
an FTP client on another network system.
FTP Server Commands
The FTP server supports the FTP commands described in Table 3 and recognizes, but does not
process, any other FTP commands defined in Internet RFC 959. The FTP client can use uppercase
or lowercase letters in command syntax.
If the FTP client you are using sends wild-card names to the FTP server, the server processes the
wild-card characters using the scheme described with the FTP client glob command in Section 6,
FTP—Transferring Files.
Table 3 FTP Commands Processed
Processing Performed Command
Aborts an active file transfer. The ABOR command must
be preceded by a Telnet Interrupt Process (IP) signal and
a Telnet Synchronization (SYNCH) signal. Syntax: ABOR ABOR
Appends data to a specified file on the server system. If
the file does not exist, it stores the data in a new file. This APPE
command must be preceded by a PORT command.(Syntax:
APPEfilename
)
Changes the current default subvolume (working subvolume)
to the specified subvolume. Syntax: CWD [
$volume.]subvolume CWD
Deletes the specified file from the server system. Syntax:
DELEfilename DELE
Allows specification of an extended address for the data
connection. Such an address must consist of the network EPRT
protocol as well as the network transport address. Syntax:
EPRT
|net-protocol|net-addr|tcp-port|where
net-protocol is either 1 (IPv4) or 2 (IPv6), net-addr
is the network address, and tcp-port is a string
representation of the TCP port on which the host listens for
the connection.
Request that a server listen on a data port and wait for a
connection. It takes an optional argument. When you issue EPSV
an EPSV with no argument, the server chooses the protocol
for the data connection on the basis of the protocol used
for the control connection. Syntax: EPSVTo request the use
of a specific protocol. Syntax: EPSVnet-protocolwhere
net-protocol
is either 1 (IPv4) or 2 (IPv6).
Provides a list of the FTP commands that the server can
process, or describes the specified command. Syntax: HELP
[ command ] HELP
Gives detailed information on files on a specified
subvolume, or information on a specified file. If the LIST
subvolume is not specified, the information is about the
current default subvolume. This command must be preceded
by a PORT command. Syntax: LIST [ subvolume.* |
filename
]
Creates a directory using the specified directory-name.
Syntax: MKDdirectory-name) MKD
