Manual
Abstract
This manual describes the operation of the Compaq Open Systems Interconnection/File
Transfer, Access and Management (OSI/FTAM) responder and its virtual filestore (VFS). It is
for programmers and users who are working with or writing remote FTAM applications that use
the services of the Compaq responder. It is also useful to those with access to the Compaq

1 Introduction to the Compaq FTAM Responder This manual describes the Compaq Open Systems Interconnection/File Transfer, Access and Management (OSI/FTAM) responder and its virtual filestore (VFS). Compaq OSI/FTAM is the Compaq implementation of the FTAM standard ISO 8571, developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). File Transfer, Access and Management (FTAM) is a set of Application Layer services and an Application Layer protocol to support file handling on Open

Introduction to the Compaq FTAM Responder Compaq FTAM Services FTAM users communicate with the FTAM service provider by way of primitives, the smallest units of interaction between the FTAM user and the FTAM service provider. An operation like any of those mentioned above requires the exchange of multiple primitives, which the FTAM software encodes as protocol data units (PDUs). FTAM file handling is defined in terms of initiator and responder functions. The initiator provides application p

Introduction to the Compaq FTAM Responder FTAM Applications responder, you use the standard FTAM file-handling conventions to perform remote file- handling tasks, by means of the FTAM interface on your remote system. Each FTAM service, or file operation, requires that multiple FTAM protocol operations be performed, in sequence, to complete the service. For example, to open a file, an FTAM application must first send an initialize request, and then a file-select request and a file-open reques
