If the connection is successful, a Ready message will be displayed.
After a successful connection, the user is prompted for a login name and password. The
default is the client's login name. The Jetdirect FTP server will allow any user name.
Passwords are ignored.
If login is successful, a message "230" will be displayed on the client system. In addition,
the available HP Jetdirect ports for printing will be displayed. HP Jetdirect internal print
server cards provide a single port (Port 1). HP Jetdirect external print servers with
multiple ports will display all available ports, with Port1 the default port. To change
ports, use the FTP cd (change directory) command. For a typical FTP printing session,
see Example of an FTP Session.
Ending the FTP Session
To end an FTP session, type quit or bye.
Note: Prior to ending an FTP session, a [Ctrl-C] command is recommended
to ensure the data connection is closed
