‘fortune’ and that file already exists, the target name ‘fortune.1’ will be
used. If fortune.1 already exists, the target name ‘fortune.2’ will be tried.
This will continue with extensions 1 through 99; if all versions of the file
already exist, the transfer will fail. The unique file name will be displayed
if the transfer succeeds. By default, sunique is off.
system
Show the type of operating system running on the remote host.
tenex Set the data representation type to tenex. This corresponds to the local or
logical byte size type. The only byte size currently supported is 8, making
this type virtually the same as binary.
trace Toggle packet tracing. Packet tracing is turned off by default.
type [type-name]
Display the data representation type of the file to be transfered (no argu-
ments), or set it to type-name. Valid types are ascii (default), binary,
ebcdic, image, and tenex (local byte size). The binary and image types are
identical. The ebcdic type is not currently supported. The tenex type, in
which the logical byte size is 8, is virtually the same as binary.
umask [mask]
Display (no arguments) or set the umask on the remote host per the
umask(1) command.
user login [password [account]]
Log in to the remote FTP server as login. Ftp will prompt for the password
and account if they are required and not specified.
verbose
Toggle verbose mode. When enabled, all responses from the FTP server are
displayed to the user as well as statistics regarding the efficiency of each
file transfer. By default, verbose is enabled for an interactive session and
disabled for a background or batch session.
? [command]
A synonym for help.
$ mname [arg ...]
Invoke the macro mname with the specified arguments.
! [command]
Invoke a shell on the local host. To return to ftp, exit from the shell with
CTRL-D. If an argument is specified, that command is executed and the
shell will exit automatically.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero for normal termination, a positive number for error termination.
