Figure 8 How a NetWare FTP Server Accesses Remote IBM Servers
The IBM server that the user logs in to first will be considered the home server.
Once logged in to an IBM server, the user can navigate to other remote IBM
servers which identify the user with the same username and password. To
navigate to remote servers the following format should be used:
cd //IBM server name/path
File operations such as get, put, and delete can be done only when the user is
currently in that server.
If the current directory is on a remote server and the server goes down, the user
is placed in the home directory in the home server. If the home server is not
available, the remote server is made the home server. If the current directory
is in the home server and the server goes down, the user is logged out.
