The FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is used to copy files to or from another
Internet host.  For simple transfers, you can give a command to the monitor like
the following examples:

	FTP LOCAL.FIL←{MIT-MC}UNAME;FN1 FN2
		(get a file from MIT)
	FTP {MIT-MC}UNAME;FN1 FN2←LOCAL.FIL
		(store a file at MIT)
	FTP ←{SRI-NIC/NICGUEST}<NETINFO>*.RFC
		(get multiple files from SRI-NIC, logging in there
		as user NICGUEST)
	FTP {SRI-NIC/NETINFO/NIC}←*.RFC
		(store multiple files at SRI-NIC, under user name
		NETINFO and account NIC)

For more complicated transfers, you can give a command of the form
	FTP BBNA
which will make a connection to the specified host and allow you to enter
protocol commands in a format not unlike that described in the protocol
documents.

Complete details for FTP can be found in the Internet appendix of the Monitor
Command Manual, in the section on the File Transfer Protocol.  The Monitor
Command Manual is in online in the file MONCOM.BH[S,DOC].
