This
chapter describes how to use the ftam program to transfer, access,
and manage files. This program transfers files between hosts (both
UNIX [1]-based and other
systems alike) that support FTAM services. It can also be used to
perform remote file management operations.
The ftam program is patterned after ftp, an Internet service
that allows you to copy files between hosts on a network. Note,
however, that there are differences between ftp and ftam , such as changing file attributes,
and optional directory support. These differences will be apparent
to users already familiar with ftp.
