Merryman +Request for Comments: 532 UCSD-CC +NIC: 17451 12 July 1973 + + + The UCSD-CC Server-FTP Facility + +1.0 Introduction + + The UCSD Computer Center is a service site that must support itself + by charging for the usage of its facilities. Because of this, the + prospective user of our Server-FTP must supply a valid usercode + (USER) and password (PASS) before any further FTP commands are + accepted. + + Through FTP, you are allowed to access or store files on our disk or + on any of our 7 or 9-track tape drives. Each individual file + transfer is handled by a separate process on the B6700 and the user + is charged for the processor, I/O, core, and (if any) tape charges + incurred by this process (note that these charges are quite minimal). + Each of these transfer processes is given a separate "job" number and + is therefore billed separately for each transfer by our accounting + system. + + Please note that we have implemented FTP as defined in RFC# 354 (July + 8, 1972) except as noted. + +2.0 FTP Commands + +(1) USER + + As mentioned, you must supply a legal, known, UCSD--CC user-code. + Following which, the "230" message will be given, asking for the + corresponding password. + +(2) PASS + + After the 'USER' command is accepted, you must then enter the PASS + command giving the corresponding password. If the usercode and + password are of correct form, if they match, if there is money in + your account, if your account is active, and if you are authorized + for "Q1" service, then you will be properly logged-on and the + "230" response will be returned. + +(3) BYTE + + We allow only the (default) byte-size of "8" - all others will be + rejected. + + + +Merryman [Page 1] + +RFC 532 The UCSD-CC Server-FTP Facility 12 July 1973 + + +(4) MODE + + We only allow the (default) mode of "S" (Stream) - all others will + be rejected + +(5) TYPE + + We allow "A" (ASCII) and "I" (Image) types - all others will be + rejected. As in standard-FTP, "A" is default. + +(6) STRU + + We allow both "F" (file) and "R" (Record) structuring. Record- + structuring is meaningful only in ASCII/Stream, where CRLF is used + as End-of-Line. When using Record-structuring in a STOR to us, if + an incoming record is longer than the "MAXRECSIZE" of the + designated B6700 file, then we close the data connection, issue a + reject message, and abort the local (B6700) transfer process. If + a record of incoming data is shorter than the specified MAXRECSIZE + of the file, then the record is filled-out with blanks in type- + ASCII or with nulls (0) in type-Image. With Image, of course, + this applies only to the last record of the B6700 file. As in + standard-FTP, "F" is default. + +(7) ALLO + + We have taken the liberty with the FTP-protocol of using the + "ALLO" command to enable the user to designate the B6700 "file- + attributes" of his UCSD file. The FTP-standard form of ALLO is + ignored (i.e. "ALLO n", where 'n' is some integer), although a + "200" response will be returned in this case. Our "special" form + is where the ALLO verb is immediately followed by a "#", which is + in turn followed by a parenthesized list of standard B6700 file + attributes as used on B6700 "label-equate" cards. Following is an + example of this usage; + + ALLO #(KIND=TAPE9,MAXRECSIZE=10,MYUSE=OUT,TITLE=XYZ) + + If this form of the ALLO command is not given prior to a STOR, + then the file will have the name given prior in the STOR command + and will have the same characteristics as a standard "CANDE" + type-DATA disk file (i.e. where (MAXRECSIZE=14, BLOCKSIZE=420, + AREAS=15, AREASIZE=450)). If no special ALLO is given preceding a + RETR, then the file attributes are those of the file itself as it + exists on the disk and are not altered. In cases where the + special ALLO is given prior to a transfer, the name of the file is + determined by the TITLE attribute and the name given as the + pathname of the STOR or RETR command is ignored. If no TITLE is + + + +Merryman [Page 2] + +RFC 532 The UCSD-CC Server-FTP Facility 12 July 1973 + + + specified in an ALLO, then the internal filename of "LOCALFILE" is + used. With the "file-attribute-list" form of the ALLO command, + the user has much of the same liberty to govern file + characteristics as he does in using a "label-equate" card with a + normal B6700 job. For information concerning the available file + attributes and their possible values, please contact the UCSD-CC + consultant. Additionally, you must remember that when doing a + STOR to a tape at UCSD, you must specify MYUSE=OUT in the file- + attribute list of the ALLO command. Also, when transferring to or + from tapes at UCSD, you must make prior arrangements with our + operators (over TELNET) to locate and mount the tape. We will + soon implement a means whereby you may communicate with the + operators directly through FTP. + +(8) XLINE + + This special command sets Record-structuring in our Server-FTP + without the foreign user having to use a STRU R command (which may + be rejected by his own host system). This is specifically useful + when transferring text files between UCSD and TENEX's (which do + not implement Record-structuring) - i.e., if we are sending, we + will append CRLF's to the end of each line of text (we do not + store these in the file) and will store a line upon receiving data + when a CRLF is seen, stripping the CRLF. Entering "XLINE OFF" + will restore File-structuring on our end. + +(9) RETR , STOR + + As specified in standard-FTP except as modified by the "special" + ALLO command (see part (7)). + +(10) APPE + + Not implemented at this time, but will be in near future. + +(11) DELE , RNTO , RNFR + + Not implemented. It is suggested that to perform these functions, + the user log to our TELNET server ("CANDE"), invoke the "LIBMAINT" + program (simply type LIBMAINT), and say; + + REMOVE file-name + or + CHANGE file-name-1 TO file-name-2 + + Say BYE in order to exit LIBMAINT. + + + + + +Merryman [Page 3] + +RFC 532 The UCSD-CC Server-FTP Facility 12 July 1973 + + +(12) ABOR, BYE + + As specified in standard-FTP; except that, until further notice, a + BYE given while a transfer is in progress will not be queued for + action following the transfer. + + Any commands not mentioned above are not yet implemented. + + + [This RFC was put into machine readable form for entry] + [into the online RFC archives by Helene Morin, Via Genie, 12/1999] + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Merryman [Page 4] + |
