Remote File Access

Remote Terminal Access: VT vs. RFA

Both VT and RFA can be used to access remote terminals. In either

case, a FILE command or FOPEN call must indicate that the ﬁle in

question is actually a remote terminal. If you specify the VTERM option

in the FILE command or the device parameter of the FOPEN call, the

terminal will be accessed through Reverse VT rather than RFA. In both

cases the remote terminal functions as a non-session I/O device. If the

remote terminal is accessed through Reverse VT, you do not establish a

session on the system to which the terminal is attached.
