HP Integrity NonStop H-Series - Manual (Page 38)

- s local IP Address
turns on the feature of specifying a local IP address for the FTP client.
- k
turns on the feature of sending TCP Keep-Alive probes on the client side control connection.
host
identifies the remote host system. You can specify host as a host name or host internet address.
See Addressing Remote Hosts on page 1-5 in Section 1, Introduction to TCP/IP Applications
and Utilities, for information about specifying host names and addresses.
If you do not specify host, you must use the open command to connect to a remote host
system.
The following command starts FTP, turns on verbose mode, turns off interactive prompting, and
establishes a connection to a host system named warehs1:
TACL 5> ftp -v -i warehs1
NOTE: Ask your system manager for the name of an appropriate TCP/IP process to serve as
your transport service provider.
Considerations for choosing an appropriate process are:
After you enter the FTP command to start an FTP session and, optionally, log on to a remote host,
FTP displays the prompt:
ftp>
You can enter any of the FTP client commands to perform file operations.
In addition to specifying options when you start FTP, you can enter them at the ftp> prompt. Each
option except -n has a corresponding command that also turns the toggle on or off. The options
and corresponding toggle commands are:
-v verbose
-d debug
-i prompt
-g glob
Table 1 summarizes the FTP commands organized by function. A detailed description of each
