zftp

ZFTP(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   ZFTP(1)

NAME

       zftp - CERNLIB program to transfer ZEBRA formatted files over a network

SYNOPSIS

       zftp [hostname]

DESCRIPTION

       zftp  is  a file transfer program that supports the transfer of formatted, unformatted and ZEBRA RZ files.  (If you have no idea what ZEBRA
       files are, it is highly unlikely that you want to use this program instead of a standard FTP client.)  Formatted files are  typically  KUIP
       macros,	command  or EXEC files, source code or even FZ ALPHA exchange format files.  Unformatted files may be FZ binary exchange format or
       EPIO files or any other binary file with fixed length records.

       zftp also provides LS, CD, PWD and RSHELL commands.  It provides a common interface on all systems  and	the  possibility  of  macros  (via
       KUIP).	It  avoids  the  problems  of file format conversion that occur when transferring binary files between VMS and UNIX systems.  zftp
       comes with the traditional KUIP user interface, including a HELP function that describes the available commands.

       Please note that, like many other FTP programs, zftp transfers unencrypted passwords over the network.  It should therefore  be	used  only
       within a trusted LAN.

       zftp  is  part  of  the	CERNLIB  CSPACK  package,  documented  fully  at  http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asdoc/psdir/cspack.ps.gz  (PostScript) or
       http://wwwinfo.cern.ch/asdoc/WWW/cspack/cspmain/cspmain.html (HTML).
