HP-UX Remote Access Services Administrator's Guide

NOTE: To operate in an IPv6-enabled Kerberos mode, change tcp to tcp6 in the
previous entries.
By default, the telnet server provides remote execution facilities using the Kerberos
V5 network authentication.
Fore more information, type man 1M telnetd at the HP-UX prompt.
FTP Overview
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) enables you to transfer files between a client host
system and a remote server host system. On the client system, a file transfer program
provides a user interface to the FTP; on the server, the requests are handled by the FTP
daemon, ftpd.
WU-FTPD 2.6.1 for HP-UX 11i v2 is an HP implementation of the FTP daemon based
on the replacement FTP daemon developed at Washington University.
The ftp command is a user interface to the File Transfer Protocol. ftp copies the files
over a network connection between the local client host and a remote server host. ftp
runs on the client host.
Table 1-6 describes the ftp command options.
Table 1-6 ftp Options
DescriptionOption
Disables file name globbing.
-g
Disables interactive prompting by multiple file commands.
-i
Disables auto-login.
-n
If you set this option, the SYST and TYPE calls are not made by the ftp
client to the server upon establishing a connection.
-c
Enables verbose output.
-v
Enables passive mode of operation.
-p
Disables Kerberos authentication and authorization.
-P
Enables the use of LPRT and LPSV commands for data connection, in an
IPv6 environment.
-l
Sets the buffer size of the data socket to the block size (1024 bytes).
-B
You can set the fallback option in the /etc/krb5.conf file within the
appdefaults section to fall back to the normal mode when the Kerberos authentication
fails. When the fallback option is set to true and the Kerberos authentication fails,
ftp uses the non-secure mode of authentication.
