Data Connection
A second connection, a data connection, is created each time a file
is transferred between the client and the FTP server. The client
controls the creation of a data connection by issuing the commands
that require a data connection (such as FTP
ls
,
dir
or
put
commands).
Although the
ls
and
dir
commands are always accepted, the HP
JetDirect FTP server supports only one data connection for printing
at a time.
The transmission mode for an FTP data connection with the HP
JetDirect print server is always in stream mode, which marks the
end-of-file by closing the data connection.
Once a data connection is established, the file transfer type (ASCII
or binary) can be specified. Although some clients may attempt to
autonegotiate a transfer type, the default is ASCII. To specify the
transfer type, enter the
bin
or
ascii
command at the FTP prompt.
FTP Login
To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a
MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt:
ftp <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the valid IP address or node name
configured for the HP JetDirect print server.
