FTAMD-FTP(8C)

NAME
ftamd-ftp - MITRE FTAM/FTP gateway

SYNOPSIS
iso.ftam-ftp [-c] magic arguments
(under tsapd )

DESCRIPTION
The ftamd-ftp server appears to implement the responder side of the File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM) service, but is really an FTAM/FTP gateway. See ftamd (8c) for details on the FTAM service.

When using ftam with the MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway, the true destination is encoded in the user name (i.e., user@tcphost).

Note that the FTAM/FTP gateway is currently available on a different presentation address than the FTAM service on the gateway. To select the FTAM/FTP gateway, tell your ftam initiator to associate with the service having “qualifier” ftpstore on the gateway host. For example, using ftam (1c):

% ftam
ftam> set qualifier ftpstore
ftam> open gateway
user (gateway:user): user@tcphost
password (gateway:user@tcphost):

FILES
isodocuments	ISO documents database
isoentities	ISO application entity title database
/usr/adm/wtmp	login records

DIAGNOSTICS
All obvious.

BUGS

File information is limited to file names. All file access rights are assumed until access is attempted. The ftp server of the destination grants or denies action permission at the time of file access.

Empty directories may not be recognized depending on the ftp server of the destination machine. This bug manifests when trying to remove an empty directory.

The daemon should implement a crude form of access control for accounting purposes (FTP service might not be free in all environments).
