How To Login to The FTP Server (i.e., Start a client session): |
| Introduction: Logging in to the server requires a USERID/PASSWORD. User IDs/passwords are created by the server�s Administrator. The admin must also tell you about the port to connect to if the server is not listening on the default port, 21. 1) How to specify the Server�s port. 2) How to type in your user id and password. |
| 1) How to Specify the Server�s PORT: Most graphical clients have some sort of a connection manager where you define such things as the server�s IP address, port, user ids and passwords. Use these features for convenience. |
| Line mode clients (Windows, UNIX, etc) allow you to specify the IP-address and the port on the OPEN command. Just invoke the client without any parameters, then issue OPEN IPADDRESS PORT as follows: C:\> ftp <press enter key> ftp> open testvse 259 <press enter key> or C:> ftp <press enter key> ftp> open 10.10.10.10 259 <press enter key> |
| Internet Browsers, such as MS I.E 5.0, allows you to specify a user id, password, IP-address and port in the URL itself as follows: FTP://user_id:password@ipaddres:port For example, BART, whose password is SYMPSON, can issue the URL as follows: FTP://BART:[email protected]:259 |
| FTPBATCH, CSI�s own FTP client for VSE, allows you to specify the port in the EXEC PARM JCL statement. Refer to appropriate documentation for more detail. |
| 2) How to type in your User id and password: This section pertains mainly to line mode clients. Graphical clients, on the other hand, automatically enter the User ID and the Password for you (if you set them up correctly!). Some graphical clients do display the Server's Greetings message while others don�t. If you successfully connect to this server, you should see the following greeting. At this point the client asks you to enter a user id and a password. |
