Command list
The FTP protocol commands supported by this unit
include standard commands
(see the next section)
and
extended commands
• To execute FTP commands, you must install application
software with FTP function on your computer.
• The commands supported by application software vary.
• An FTP client that supports UTF-8 is required to use
Unicode characters other than ASCII characters.
Command prompt FTP commands do not support
UTF-8.
Standard commands
In the command syntax, <SP> means a space, entered by
pressing the space bar, and <CRLF> means a new line,
entered by pressing the Enter key.
USER
Send this command to begin the login process.
Command syntax: USER <SP> <user name> <CRLF>
Input example:
USER admin
PASS
After sending the USER command, send this command to
complete the login process.
Command syntax: PASS <SP> <password> <CRLF>
Input example:
PASS pmw-1000
QUIT
Terminates the FTP connection. If a file is being
transferred, terminates after completion of the transfer.
Command syntax: QUIT <CRLF>
PORT
Specifies the IP address and port to which this unit should
connect for the next file transfer (for data transfer from this
unit).
Command syntax: PORT <SP> <h1,h2,h3,h4,p1,p2>
<CRLF>
• h1 (most significant byte) to h4 (least significant byte): IP
address
• p1 (most significant byte), p2 (least significant byte): Port
number
Input example:
PORT 10,0,0,1,242,48
(IP address: 10.0.0.1, Port number: 62000)
PASV
This command requests this unit to “listen” on a data port
(which is not its default data port). (It puts this unit into
passive mode, waiting for the remote computer to make a
data connection.)
Command syntax: PASV <CRLF>
TYPE
Specifies the type of data to be transferred.
Command syntax: TYPE <SP> <type-code (options
delimited by <SP>)> <CRLF>

the type-code specification.
• A: ASCII
- N: Non-print
- T: Telnet format
- C: ASA Carriage Control
• E: EBCDIC
- N: Non-print
- T: Telnet format

for XDCAM, the structure is always “F”, regardless of the
structure-code specification.
• F: File structure (default)
• R: Record structure
• P: Page structure
Input example:
STRU F
