BITFTP currently accepts requests only via RFC822-format mail, IBM NOTE-format mail, PROFS-format messages, or files with no headers at all. BITFTP currently returns the requested files as NETDATA-format files or as mail files containing UUENCODED data. If you specify "UUENCODE" or "NETDATA" on your "FTP" command, BITFTP will attempt to use that format. If you do not specify the format, BITFTP will attempt to select the appropriate format for your node. BITFTP attempts to send NETDATA-format files through the gateway from EARN into Janet via the NIFTP facility at Rutherford Lab. If BITFTP sends you a file you cannot read, THE FIRST THING TO DO is to make sure that you specified ASCII if the file should contain textual material or that you specified BINARY if the file should contain binary data, executable programs, tar files, or the like. VMS users should specify BINARY F 512 and should use RECEIVE/BINARY to receive the NETDATA-format binary files BITFTP sends them. To use BITFTP, send mail containing your ftp commands to "BITFTP@PUCC". The first command to BITFTP must be "FTP" or "HELP". The recommended syntax for ftp requests is: FTP hostname USER username password <other ftp subcommands> QUIT After the hostname on the FTP command, you may specify "UUENCODE" or "NETDATA" to tell BITFTP the format in which you wish to receive files. (If the username is "anonymous", no password is required; BITFTP will use your userid and nodeid as the password.) Note that on many systems passwords are case-sensitive; that is, the password may be required to be in lower case or mixed case or upper case. (The same is true of directory and file names.) The following is an example of an ftp request: FTP f.ms.uky.edu USER anonymous CD /pub/msdos/Games DIR BINARY GET robotron.arc msdos.robotron QUIT BITFTP implements a subset of the ftp subcommands provided in the IBM TCP/IP and uses the same syntax. Therefore, you may find it useful to obtain the "IBM TCP/IP for VM Command Reference Manual", IBM order number GC09-1204. The currently supported subcommands are: ACCT -- to send host-dependent account information. format: ACCT account-information ASCII -- to change the file transfer type to ASCII. format: ASCII BINARY -- to change the file transfer type to image. format: BINARY <FIXED record-len> <VARIABLE> CD -- to change the working directory. format: CD directory CLOSE -- to disconnect from the foreign host. format: CLOSE DIR -- to get a list of directory entries. format: DIR EBCDIC -- to change the file transfer type to EBCDIC format: EBCDIC GET -- to get a file from the foreign host. format: GET foreignfile <localfile> If you specify "localfile", it must be in the forms "filename.filetype" or "filename", and the filename and filetype may each be no more than 8 characters long and may not contain periods. LOCSTAT -- to display local status information. format: LOCSTAT LS -- to list the files in a directory. format: LS <name> PWD -- to print the working directory. format: PWD QUIT -- to disconnect from the foreign host. format: QUIT STATUS -- to retrieve status information from a foreign host. format: STATUS <name> SYSTEM -- to get the name of the foreign host's operating system. format: SYSTEM TYPE -- to specify Image, ASCII, or EBCDIC file transfer. format: TYPE <I|A|E> The files you request will be sent to you in NETDATA format or UUENCODED inside mail files. You will also receive a mail file containing a log of your ftp session. In that mail file, entries prefixed by ">" are your original commands; those prefixed by ">>" are your commands as interpreted by BITFTP and passed to TCPIP; those prefixed by ">>>" are your commands as interpreted by TCPIP and passed to the remote host; those prefixed by "<<<" are messages from the remote host; and those prefixed by ">>>>" are completion messages from BITFTP. If BITFTP is unable to connect to the host you specify, it will send you mail after the first attempt, but will keep trying at intervals over three days. The only additional mail files you will receive will be when the connection is made successfully or when BITFTP gives up after three days. The load on BITFTP is often very heavy, and network backlogs are often so great that it may take several days for a file to get to you once BITFTP sends it, so please be patient and don't send multiple requests for the same file. If your system allows you to send interactive messages, you can inquire about BITFTP's backlog by sending the query "How are you?", e.g., on a VM system: TELL BITFTP AT PUCC How are you? This service is currently under development and is far from complete. Current plans for improvements include: 1. Acknowledgments via MSG when mail is received and when processing has been completed. 2. A much more complete HELP facility. Questions about BITFTP and suggestions for improvements should be directed to Melinda Varian, MAINT@PUCC on BITNET or MAINT@pucc.princeton.edu on the Internet.
