More on ftp and Using Mac IP ftp is a file interchange protocol to allow you to access a remote computer for the purpose of exchanging files. Two approaches to using ftp are: 1 log into your AIX account. run ftp The disadvantage if that if you want to use the files that you get with a mac or a pc, then you have to transfer the files to your mac or pc.-- another step. 2 Use MacIp to run ftp. MacIP is a software interface between Macintosh computers and the Internet. You can use both telnet and ftp from Mac-IP. If you use ftp from Mac-IP, files can be saved directly onto your floppy disk. The Mac II computers in the front half of Room 105D and some of the Mac SEUs in Room 102 of Building 12 (Academic Computing Services general use labs) can communicate with the Internet using MacIP. (1) Using your AIX account and to make an anonymous ftp connection with a remote host for the purpose of transferring files. At the % prompt, enter ftp (site) -----substitute the site to which you want to connect for (site). The site name is on the same line as the ftp command. e.g ftp oak.oakland.edu see your handout for a list of possible ftp sites. When you are prompted to login, enter anonymous. When you are prompeted to enter a password, enter your emial address as the password I would enter [log in to unmask] When you have made a successful connection, the prompt ftp> will be displayed. You will need to use the following ftp commands. pwd......print the name of the current (working) directory ls.... .list the contents of this directory or dir cd change directory (give directory name) cd .. move back up one directory level status display current settings ascii set up ftp to send an ascii file binary set up ftp to send binary files get get a file (give the name of the file) help quit end the ftp session Use the man command at the % prompt to get more information about using ftp. % man ftp Accessing ftp this way has a major disadvantage: it is not eacy to tell where you are nor which files are files and which are directories. Study this example and be sure you understand what is being done before you attempt to use ftp from the AIX prompt. This example shows you how to connect via anonymous ftp to a network resource in the California State University Chancellor's office %ftp nic.csu.net In response to the "login" prompt, enter anonymous In response to the "Password" prompt, enter (your email address) e.g. [log in to unmask] When you have connected successfully as an anonymous user, the ftp> prompt will prompt you to enter a command. For a full list of ftp commands, enter help To display the current directory (so you can tell where you are), enter pwd Anytime that you are confused about where you are, you should enter pwd. To list the files in a given directory, enter ls Use the "cd" command (change directory) to move into another directory (usually the upper most directory simply contains other directories). e.g. cd csunet cd shared_files Look for RreadmeS files which will have information about what is available and how to transfer files. Use the "get" command to transfer a file to your system. get filename -------- and type the name of the file exactly as it is shown in the directory listing. If you get a message that it is not a file or that it cannot be transferred, it is probably another directory. 6. When finished and ready to terminate your ftp session with the remote host, enter quit (2) Using MacIP to make a an anonymous ftp connection to a remote host for the purpose of obtaining files. Start up the Mac. Click QUIT to exit from the virus checking software. Double-click on the Mac-IP folder to open it. Double-click on the icon labeled Rto libraries.S Make sure that you do not click on the Mac window at this point!!!! Select ftp from the Network menu When the dialog box appears, Type in the name of the ftp site that you want to connect to in the box under Rhost nameS Type anonymous in the login field. Enter your email address as your password [log in to unmask] MacIP will list all the files in the current directory after you successfully connect to the remote host -- the file names will be listed in a scrolling directory on the right side of the ftp window. Click on the RlongS button to get a full directory listing telling you how big the files are, identifying any directories (d at the start of the file permissions), and when the files were created. Click on the RshortS button to get back to the regular ftp display. To change directories, you simply highlight the directory name and click on the cd button above the scrolling list. The scrolling directory on the left side of the ftp window will display files in the current Mac folder on the current Mac disk. Click on the Drive button to select your floppy disk for file transfer. To transfer a file from the remote host to your floppy disk Click to select the name of the file. If necessary, use the ftp menu to select a file transfer option (see below) Click on the copy button. The file will be transferred to your disk. File transfer options: Ascii .hqx or .sit or .txt or readme files need to unstuff mac files need to unzip or unarc pc files binary .exe files MacBinary .sea files (self extracting) Unix files: files with a .Z or .tar extension need to be uncompressed using the AIX uncompress command. When using a remote ftp host for the first time, look for readme files which have information about what is avaialble and often contain suggestions on how to transfer files. This information file was created using Microsoft Word, saved as a text file, and transferred to AIX using Kermit on AIX and Versaterm on the Mac.
