FTP is the user interface to the ARPANET standard file transfer
protocol. FTP allows users to log into remote systems, transfer
files to and from remote hosts, obtain listings of directories
on remote hosts, and other common file operations.
The FTP utility supports two styles of user interfaces, a
DCL command interface and a ULTRIX command interface. The DCL
command interface is the default. To select the ULTRIX command
interface, define a symbol as follows:
$ FTP :== $UCX$FTP/ULTRIX
Most FTP commands require one or more file specifications. Local
file specifications must be valid VAX/VMS file specifications.
Remote file specifications will be interpreted by the remote
host and therefore must be valid to that host. Any file specification
which is not a valid VAX/VMS file specification must be quoted.
