Turns on the display of commands sent to the remote host. Shows all the commands sent to the remote host during the execution of PUT and GET.
Enables or disables the expansion of remote file names during file transfers.
- PUT operations: expansion is done by the local host.
- GET operations: expansion is done on the remote host.
During GET operations, an expansion of a directory name might be different from the expansion of other file names. The result depends on the operating systems of the remote and local hosts.

Enables parsing and the expansion of wildcards. Copies all the files starting with the characters BIRDS to the remote host.
| #2 |

FTP> ENABLE PARSE
FTP> GET *.DOC

Because parsing is enabled, the remote host expands the wildcard. All remote files ending in ".doc" are copied to the local system.
The command is equivalent to:
FTP> ENABLE PARSE FTP> MGET *.DOC
Enables or disables the sending of the FTP protocol PORT command to the remote host.By default, FTP sends a PORT command when establishing a connection. If this command fails, FTP uses the default data port (20).
Disable the sending of the PORT command when you communicate with remote hosts that ignore PORT commands.
Default: ENABLE PORT_COMMAND.

Enables or disables VMS Plus Mode. This lets you specify a transfer mode based on file type, for example, ASCII or image.With VMS Plus Mode disabled, FTP does not send the FTP SITE command. (Older implementations of the FTP server do not support this command.) The FTP client uses the FTP SITE command to identify itself (its SITE type) to the remote host. The SITE type of an FTP client can be either:
- +VMS+ --- The client is in VMS Plus mode.
- NONE --- The client is not in VMS Plus mode.
Defaults:
- When you use FTP to connect to an OpenVMS host running TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, VMS Plus Mode is enabled.
- When you use FTP to connect to a non-OpenVMS host or a VMS system running software that does not recognize VMS Plus Mode, VMS Plus Mode is disabled.
ENABLE VMS_PLUS
DISABLE VMS_PLUS
Closes an open connection and exits FTP. Entering Ctrl/Z is equivalent to the EXIT command.
EXIT

At the DCL prompt, the FTP command starts an FTP session. For information about the FTP command, enter:

$HELP FTP FTP Starts an FTP session and does one of the following: o Displays the FTP prompt. You can issue FTP commands to customize your environment and FTP command processing. o Establishes a connection to the specified remote host. For help with individual FTP commands, enter: $ FTP FTP> HELP DCL-Style Format FTP [ host ] [ /USERNAME=remote_user_name ] [ /PASSWORD=password ] Press RETURN to continue ...

The DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS software includes the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) service. The FTP command starts an FTP session and does one of the following:
- Displays the FTP prompt. You can enter FTP commands to customize your environment and FTP command processing.
- Establishes a connection to the specified remote host.
FTP [ host [ port ] ] [ /USERNAME=remote_user_name ]
[ /PASSWORD=password ]

ftp [ host [ port ] ]
host
Optional.Remote host to which you want to connect.
port
Optional.Specifies the port to use.
/INPUT=input-filespec
Optional. If you do not specify the /INPUT qualifier, FTP takes input from SYS$INPUT. If you specifiy this qualifier, you must also supply an input_filespec. FTP continues to prompt until it has a valid input_filespec.Runs a DCL command file with FTP commands.
/PASSWORD=password
Optional. Default: your password on the local system.Password for the remote user account to which you want to connect.
/USERNAME=remote_user_name
Optional. Default: your user name on the local system.Name of the remote user account to which you want to connect.

The GET command does the following:
- Copies remote files to the local host.
- Copies files from a DECnet node.
To use this command, you must have an FTP session with a remote host.
GET [ /CONFIRM | /FDL ] remote_file [ local_file ]
get remote_file [ local_file ]
mget remote_files
remote_file
Required.Name of the remote file to copy.
- To copy multiple files, separate the names with commas or plus signs.
- When you specify multiple remote files, you cannot specify a local file name.
- To copy a file from a remote DECnet node, use the full specification: node name, device, directory, file name.
local_file
Optional. Default: Same name (without any device or directory names).New name for the copied file. You cannot specify a local file name if you specify:
- Multiple remote files
- Wildcards in the the remote file name
/CONFIRM
Optional. Default: immediate execution.Asks you for confirmation before executing the copy operation.
/FDL
Optional. Default: no secondary file created.Uses a secondary file with the copied file's OpenVMS RMS record attributes (if you previously entered a PUT/FDL command). The SET TYPE command determines the type of file:
- Specifying ASCII results in a sequential file with variable records. Select this type when transferring ASCII text files.
- Specifying IMAGE results in a sequential file with fixed records of 512 bytes. Select this type when transferring non-ASCII files such as executable image files.
