XEROX DOCUMENT SYSTEMFTP AND IFSREVISION 6/30/801SECTION 1 BASIC FTPWHAT IS FTP? The File Transfer Program (FTP) is a program used for transferring files to andfrom an Integrated File Server (IFS) or between Alto workstations. Before Altoworkstations are able to communicate with file servers and other Altoworkstations using FTP, they must be connected to a cable device called anETHERNET network.When using FTP to communicate with a file server, the file server can bethought of as a large electronic filing cabinet shared by several users. Inaddition to storing and retrieving files, the program allows some manipulationof files such as renaming and deletion of files previously stored. Before usingthe File Transfer Program, the user must be familiar with the EDITOR and theEXECUTIVE level of the XEROX DOCUMENT SYSTEM. When working with files in FTP, file names must conform to namingconventions similar to those used in the EDITOR. That is, file names should beno longer than 35 characters. (However, if 35 characters are used in a filename, only 20 characters will be visible.) In addition to all the alphabeticalletters (a-z) and numeric symbols (0-9), periods and dashes ( . - ) are the onlysymbols that should be used in file names. The use of all other symbolsshould be avoided. You may, however, use any combination of alpha ornumeric symbols along with dashes and periods to construct your file names.It is good practice to end your file names with .ed (distinguishing files createdusing the EDITOR), .draw for draw files, and .press for press files.The File Transfer Program has three main parts:1An FTP Server which "listens" for file transfer requests,2An FTP User which initiates file transfer requests,3A User Telnet. (Telnet is not supported or presented in this document.)The FTP Server and the FTP User will be discussed in this manual.This manual is a self-paced course that will allow you to work at your ownspeed. The course is divided into sections. Each section explains variousfeatures of FTP, provides instructional text, gives a summary of what is coveredin each section, and provides an application exercise for the user.Checkmarks ()) indicate an action to be taken by the user to activate apqpqrpq'prqrp=7qNf2p`W4_4^4t: ]<4\i4XtututrTH-R7 =P& /40N 'LprG-E/C-AH?(pr=prprprpr9k8=7Z pr5I.38A1'8/*-?*<(7&pr4"/0903 0GA.' %# cA vr/ TVk(5XEROX DOCUMENT SYSTEMFTP AND IFSREVISION 6/30/802command.

The Alto workstation number is the number between the #symbols.) and (4) the amount of free disk pages remaining on your disk.The Alto workstation number (in this case, 153) is very important to know. Thisis the number used when communicating with file servers or other Altoworkstations.THE USER WINDOWThe User window is where you will type the information necessary to initiate afile transfer.

When you store a file atanother workstation, you make a copy of your file on the other workstationdisk. The original file remains on your disk.To illustrate how this feature could be used, consider how easy it would be fora secretary to transmit a rough draft of a proposal to the author's workstationfor comments. The author could make the necessary changes in the file andtransmit it back to the secretary, complete with changes. You can see howthis could eliminate not only many steps to the copier, but time-consuminghand editing and unnecessary retyping of an entire document.With the connection is open, proceed as follows.)TYPE: Store)PRESS and RELEASE the SPACE bar.

Now, youare going to learn how to do these same functions using an IFS. What's anIFS? An Integrated File Server (IFS) is a workstation with high capacity diskunits for mass file storage. You could think of it as a giant file cabinet(electronic, of course). The IFS is shared by everyone at your installation.Why an IFS? The Integrated File Server can be used to conserve storage onyour disk and archive seldom used documents. Another feature of an IFS isto store files that other workstation users can then retrieve. For example, youmay need to create a report that is to be distributed to 5 people. Instead ofmaking 5 copies of the report and distributing it manually, the report is storedon the IFS and each user can then retrieve a copy of the file as needed. TheIFS can also be used as a backup system for important files on your disk.Each user will have an IFS account and an IFS directory, created by the on-siteIFS Administrator. You can think of your IFS directory as your own personalfile cabinet. You will be assigned a user name (usually your last name) and apassword for use in identifying yourself to the IFS. This password will preventothers from using your name and accessing your files. Your files are protectedby your password. They cannot be changed or deleted from your directorywithout the password. Files cannot be stored on your directory without yourpassword; they are "read only" files. So, you have a large electronic filecabinet (IFS) with a key (your password) for your use.PREREQUISITESCompletion of the Section 1 - Basic FTP.OBJECTIVESAt the end of this section, you will have learned:8What an IFS is and how you might use it8How to open a connection to an IFS8How to store a file on your IFS directory8How to retrieve a file from an IFS directory8How to close the connection to an IFSpqpqrpq'prqrp=7qN"f2p`W4_4^4t3]<4\i4THr ur$RZA PlDN~/L3J AF< D(BJ@H>C< ?;F7<5"+34 @1F2/X0-j1+|@)-'/#}uw Zr)7uwr2v0r'v0r"v0r) Vv0r, "v0r%TVk("XEROX DOCUMENT SYSTEMFTP AND IFSREVISION 6/30/8015HOW TO OPEN AN IFS CONNECTIONBefore you can begin, you must first open a connection with the IFS withwhich you are going to communicate.

The brackets delineate the directorylevels and allow easy retrieval of either all the monthly reports or just themontly report for a particular month.

The asteriskcan be thought of as meaning "everything". For example, *.press, meanseverything that ends with .press, or Budget*, means everything that beginswith the word Budget, or Budget*Report, means everything that begins with theword Budget AND ends with the word Report.The asterisk responds only to the string of characters preceding, following, orsurrounding it. If you accidentally type a space (Budget* Report) in the stringof characters, you will either receive a message that no files were found, or itwill list everything that begins with the word Budget whether it is a Report orpqpqrpq'prqrp=7qN"f2p`"r6uyr ^5\#WuX*U FUF-UJFS rR4PuyNx8LzyxyHkzyxyxFY%DG%B5%@#&>(;(9'7$5$3$1%/#-(+o')])'Ky%F%F%Fd%F @%F$%F'%F+%F/%F3%F7h%F;D%F? %F!:uwuwr6, 5 5&I 7  6 *!TVk(PXEROX DOCUMENT SYSTEMFTP AND IFSREVISION 6/30/8036not. Or, if you have a file BusReport, and you type Bu*Report, you will list allthe Budget reports as well as the Bus report. When using an asterisk tomanipulate reports, be sure you put in characters that will precisely indicatewhat you want from the directory. VERSION NUMBERSYou may wonder what the "!1" and "!2" are that follow the file names. Theseare version numbers. Each time you store a file on your IFS directory, it isautomatically assigned a version number. The first time it is stored, it isnumbered "!1" and the second time it is stored it is numbered "!2" and so on.When you retrieve a file without specifying a specific version number, IFS willretrieve the most recent version (with the highest number). If you want toretrieve a previous version, you must specify the exact version number whenyou type the Retrieve instruction.You can store the same file as often as you like and then retrieve any versionof that file. The IFS will store a large number of versions of each file. Toconserve storage space and avoid possible error, it is a good practice to deleteold versions of each file, keeping only one or two versions on file at any time.Note that files are stored alphabetically regardless of THE order you storedthem, and insertion of new files will be alphabetic also.RENAMING FILESYou can change the name of a file that is stored on your IFS directory.
