DFTP is the user program to store and retrieve files on
the CCA Datacomputer. User files are compactified into a
single Datacomputer file, called the "<FILES>", and are
stored on the Ampex terabit mass memory in a similar data
structure to a DECtape.
DFTP is documented in DFTP.MRC[UP,DOC], and a primer
for new users is DFTP.PRI[1,REM]. For more information on
DFTP, contact MRC or REM. To report a problem in DFTP, send
mail to Bug-DFTP@MIT-AI.
DCSTAT is the program to print the status of the
Datacomputer. DC-203 (ie, the Datacomputer on the 203
socket at CCA) must be both "EXISTS" and "LISTENING" in
order to access the Datacomputer. DC-303 is the older,
obsolete Datacomputer. If DFTP behaves strangely, it is a
good idea to run DCSTAT to see if the Datacomputer is still
up.
