3. Next, the FTP client prompts the user to enter the password.
The user keys in the password and then presses [Enter] .
The FTP server then verifies that the Login was accepted.
Note that the password is not echoed back to the FTP client,
and is therefore not shown in this example.
4. When the FTP client displays the "ftp>" prompt, the user
keys in the dir command and presses [Enter] to display
the names of the files that are available for retrieval. The
dir command also displays the number of records in each
file, and the Locked/Free status of each file. Files that are
listed as "Locked" are currently partitioned by another user.
5. In this example, the user wishes to retrieve the file that
contains standard, non-alarm (ST) records that were
received via the Auxiliary Port (X). Therefore, the name of
the file that must be retrieved is "testXST". For more
information on file naming conventions for the FTP server
function, please refer to Section 15.5.3. The user then
checks the dir listing, locates the desired file, and checks to
make certain that it is free.
6. At the "ftp>" prompt, the user keys in the " get testXST "
command to retrieve the desired file. Several response
messages are displayed to indicate that the PORT command
was successful, the data connection was opened, and that
the transfer is complete. The FTP speed statistics are then
listed. At this point, the file "testXST" has been
downloaded to the resident directory on the user's PC.
7. The FTP client displays the "ftp>" prompt again, and the
user types " bye " and presses [Enter] to terminate the FTP
session. This command is followed by a response message
which indicates that the connection was successfully
terminated.
