+ Several Atomic Energy Commission installations are planning to
+ enter the network in the (hopefully) near future. These sites
+ include Argonne National Laboratory (IBM 360/195), Lawrence Berkeley
+ Labs, (CDC 7600), and New York University (CDC 6600). Our
+ applications make early implementation of an RJE facility imperative,
+ and although we are resigned to the necessity of implementing FTP, we
+ would like to avoid RJE protocol at least in the first go-around. We
+ would like to be able to use FTP to transfer a file, have it queued
+ for execution, and return output and status information.
+
+ To this end we propose to implement local conventions within the
+ site dependent PATHNAME parameter of the FTP. Specifically, the
+ following commands are specified:
+
+STOR RJE.JOB<rest of pathname> queue this file for execution
+(STOR/RETR) RJE.PR < > transfer remote job print file
+(STOR/RETR) RJE.PU < > " " " punch "
+(STOR/RETR) RJE.MT < > " " " magtape "
+
+RETR RJE.STAT < > retrieve status of remote job
+
+ The job execution parameters are not part of the protocol, but
+ must be specified in the standard site dependent control cards which
+ are transmitted with the file. These parameters also determine the
+ output disposition, and the output can be retrieved by the user via
+ RETR, or (optionally) automatically by server initiation via STOR.*
+ The RETR RJE.STAT causes the server to create a file with the status
+ information and transfer it to the user. The FTP user/acct/pass
+ logon is used only to validate the data transfer, not the job's right
+ to execute, and to identify and distribute the output.
+

+
+
+ We are concerned that we may have overlooked some problems which
+ are obvious to more knowledgeable people and invite (and request)
+ comments.
+
+ * note that in this case the RJE server is an FTP user.
