Procedure
To initiate an FTP session:
1. Start the FTP client program on your host. For example, on a UNIX host,
type ftp, followed by the FrameSaver unit’s IP address.
2. If a login and password are required (see Creating a Login in Chapter 4,
Security and Logins
), you are prompted to enter them. If not, press Enter.
The FTP prompt appears.
The starting directory is the root directory (/). Use standard FTP commands
during the FTP session, as well as the following remote FTP commands.
