The FTP program implements file transfer from/to Stanford AI
Laboratory to/from other sites on the ARPA network. When TALKER
is run, it will ask for a site name, and initiate connection to
that site. This is done in the same manner as in the TALKER, except
that connection is made to a file transfer protocol server program,
rather than a listener-type telnet. If/when connection is established,
you may type the following commands:
BYTE 36
TYPE I
MODE S
RETR <local file spec> ← <foreign file spec>
STOR <local file spec> → <foreign file spec> (Note the delimiter in
the STOR command is right arrow (CTRL Y, octal 031) which appears
between <local file spec> and <foreign file spec>.)
USER <user-id for foreign site, if required>
PASS <password for foreign site, if required>
ACCT <account # for foreign site, if required>
RSTR
QUOT <any character string>
QUIT
All commands must be terminated with a <CRLF>. Currently, we implement only
36-bit byte, image type, stream mode transfers. For more infomation, see
FTP.DCS[UP,DOC].
