7-6 UNIX Application Example

The following procedure provides an example of FTP operations from a UNIX

workstation. In this example, the following assumptions are made.

• The IP address of the Ethernet Unit is registered in /etc/hosts on the

workstation as “cs1”.

• The default FTP login name is being used (CONFIDENTIAL).

• A processing results data file called RESULT.IOM already exists on the

Memory Card in the CPU Unit.

• A processing instructions data file called PLAN.IOM already exists on the

workstation.

The following procedure transfers the processing results file RESULT.IOM

from the Memory Card in the CPU Unit to the workstation and then the pro-

cessing instructions file PLAN.IOM is transferred from the workstation to the

Memory Card in the CPU Unit.

Underlined text is keyed in from the FTP client. The workstation prompt is indi-

cated as $ and the cursor is indicated as ■.

1,2,3... 1. Start FTP and connect to the Ethernet Unit.

2. Enter the login name.

3. Make sure the Memory Card is inserted. The MEMCARD directory will be

displayed if there is a Memory Card in the CPU Unit.

FTP started.

Used to check for Memory Card.
