4.4.1 FTP Commands
The FTP facility allows standard FTP clients to connect to the
D
YNA
S
TAR
2000
FTP host system using a
command line interface (CLI) such as MicroSoft DOS command window, Unix, or Linux. This facility is
restricted to line-by-line command input mode. Not all of the standard FTP commands are supported on the
D
YNA
S
TAR
2000
. FTP works by entering the “ftp IP address” string from a client FTP work station. When
the receiving host sees its IP address, it asks for the User Name and Password. The user name and password
are the same as the user names already designated on the system. Once accepted the user is logged into the
system and can perform get and put commands. Note that the user is logged into the system and should quit
or disconnect the session when tasks are completed. The system will timeout after a short interval of
inactivity. The following commands are supported: (Note that the user entered parameters are in italics.)
ftp
Entering FTP followed by the remote server’s IP address starts a client FTP
session on the remote server. The server will then prompt the user for a user name
and password.
ftp connection example:
c:\localdirectory\user> ftp (IP Address of Dynastar host)
Connected to 10.0.0.1

User (10.0.0.1:(none)): (Enter the User Name - Root is default)

get
Gets a remote file from the remote host to the local client. Note that the user
password is also required following the name of the file being retrieved from the
remote host. The get command syntax is:
ftp> get filename/password filename
Where:
get (retrieve a file from a remote host)
filename (name of file on the remote host)
password (the user’s password)
filename (name of file being stored on the local system, files can be
renamed as they are stored)
