15.1 Managing FTP
Table 15–1 (Cont.) FTP Logical Names
Logical Name Description
TCPIP$FTP_NO_VERSION If defined, FTP does not send file version numbers when you
enter the
mget and the ls commands to a host that is not an
OpenVMS host. Define this logical name in the system logical
name table, as follows:
$ DEFINE /SYSTEM/EXEC TCPIP$FTP_NO_VERSION 1
TCPIP$FTP_RAW_BINARY With this logical name turned on, FTP transfers files in block
I/O mode if the server and client are in binary (image) mode.
To activate this feature, define the logical name as TRUE.
An FTP end-user can override your FALSE definition with the
FTP PUT /RAW command.
TCPIP$FTP_STREAMLF If defined, the FTP server and client create files as RMS
STREAM_LF files. The default is variable-length files.
TCPIP$FTP_WNDSIZ Sets the size of the TCP send and receive transmission
windows. Specify a decimal number for the number of bytes.
TCPIP$FTP_SERVER_LOG_CLIENT_
BY_ADDRESS
Specifies that the FTP server will be using IP addresses instead
of host names.
TCPIP$FTP_SERVER_NAME_
SERVICE_TIMEOUT
Specifies the number of seconds for the timeout interval.
For more information, refer to the description of the SET
NAME_SERVICE/TIMEOUT command in the Compaq TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS Management Command Reference
manual.
This logical name has no effect if the FTP server is using
IP addresses instead of host names (that is, the logical
name TCPIP$FTP_SERVER_LOG_CLIENT_BY_ADDRESS
is defined).
TCPIP$FTP_SERVER_NAME_
SERVICE_RETRY
Specifies the number of times the BIND resolver should
attempt to contact a BIND server if the first attempt fails.
This logical name has no effect if the FTP server is using
IP addresses instead of host names (that is, the logical
name TCPIP$FTP_SERVER_LOG_CLIENT_BY_ADDRESS
is defined).
15.1.3.1 FTP Log Files
By default, the FTP server creates several log files you can use to monitor the
service and user transactions. These log files are:
• SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_RUN.LOG
This log contains an abbreviated dialog of each new connection process. It is
created by each new invocation of the server and is accessible only after an
ongoing connection times out or after being closed by the user.
• SYS$SYSDEVICE:[TCPIP$FTP]TCPIP$FTP_ANONYMOUS.LOG
This log contains Anonymous FTP entries that show:
The user name and source host (FTP client) for the session
The time the session was initiated and terminated
The FTP command that was entered
A time notation for the command
The source and destination file names
