The ftp Service
The ftp (File Transfer Protocol) service copies files among hosts on the network that
support Internet Services. It runs on the client host and supports ASCII, binary, and
tenex file transfer protocol types. ASCII is the default type. Whenever ftp establishes
a connection between two similar systems, it automatically switches to the binary type.
For more information, type man 1 ftp or man 1M ftpd at the HP-UX prompt.
