    FTP - the File Transfer Protocol - allows you to connect to a
    remote host and perform the following actions:

    o  Transfer files between your local host and the connected
       remote host

    o  Append local files to remote host files

    o  Delete and rename files on the remote host

    o  Create, delete, and rename directories on the remote host

    o  View the contents of directories and files on the remote host

    FTP also allows you to set and display the default working
    directory on the remote host as well as on your local host, and
    to customize FTP command processing.

    You can also use RCP to copy files. For more information on RCP,
    see Remote_Commands.

    To use the Secure Shell (SSH) for file transfers, refer to the HP
    TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Guide to SSH.

    To use FTP, you need the following:

    o  A user account on the OpenVMS system with access to TCP/IP
       Services for OpenVMS

    o  One of the following:

       -  A user account on the remote FTP host
