LBI-39040 FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL COMMAND
B-8
FILE TRANSFER PARAMETERS
The FTP specification designates many parameters which may affect a file transfer.
The "representation type" may be one of "network ASCII," "EBCDIC," "image," or "local byte size" with a specified
byte size (for PDP-10s and PDP-20s mostly. The "network ASCII" and "EBCDIC" types have a further subtype which
specifies whether vertical format control (NEWLINE characters, form feeds, etc.) are to be passed through ("non-print"),
provided in TELNET format ("TELNET format controls"), or provided in ASA (FORTRAN) ("carriage control (ASA)")
format. ftp supports the "network ASCII" (subtype "non-print" only) and "image" types, plus "local byte size" with a byte
size of 8 for communicating with TENEX machines.
The "file structure" may be one of "file" (no record structure), "record," or "page." ftp supports only the default value,
which is "file."
The "transfer mode" may be one of "stream," "block," or "compressed." ftp supports only the default value, which is
"stream."
NOTES
Correct execution of many commands depends upon proper behavior by the remote server.
An error in the treatment of carriage returns in the 4.2 BSD code handling transfers with a "representation type" of
"network ASCII" has been corrected. This correction may result in incorrect transfers of binary files to and from 4.2 BSD
servers using a "representation type" of "network ASCII". Avoid this problem by using the "image" type.
