Procedure

To initiate an FTP session:

1. Start the FTP client program on your host. For example, on a UNIX host,

type ftp, followed by the FrameSaver unit’s IP address.

2. If a login and password are required (see

Creating a Login

in Chapter 5,

Security and Logins), you are prompted to enter them. If not, press Enter.

The FTP prompt appears.

The starting directory is the root directory ( / ). Use standard FTP commands
during the FTP session, as well as the following remote FTP commands.
