Example:

DMS>get source ‘/a/b/filename’
DMS>put ‘/a/b/filename’ destination

If you have a client session on the DMS-100 switch, destination and source
file names on the local host can be in lowercase or uppercase. But since the
DMS CI tries to convert every letter on the command line to uppercase,
you must take care and place single quotes around path names that are in
lowercase. Also, use single quotes when using a forward slash in a
pathname or filename.

Example:

DMS>get ‘dmopro.exec’ ‘/S00DTEMP/DMOPRO’
DMS>put ‘/S00DTEMP/RECORDFILE’ ‘recordfile’

Note: The CI on the DMS-100 switch converts all letters to uppercase if
they are not enclosed in single quotes.

When FTPing to the DMS-100 switch (the DMS is the server), filenames
are converted to uppercase unless enclosed by single quotes.

DMS FTP client commands

This section lists the commands that the client implements. FTP clients are
slightly different from one implementation to another. Some clients have more
commands than others. The DMS client has a small command list but it has the
quote command feature which allows it to send any command “as is”. This
makes it flexible.

Note: Some commands are not available in field loads.

FTP commands are summarized in table 33.
