Steps for using ftp between Bedford and the customer site
Sometimes the customer may need to share files with the Technical
Support Engineer, and making the files available via ftp onto a
unix host may be preferable to using a bulletin board upload.
Other times, the technical support engineer will place patches on the
ftp system. Since patches are generally quite large, consisting of
many modules, they are very often compressed tar files. For these
cases, the customer should be sure to get the exact pathname and
command sequence to recover these files.
In order to push a file to Bedford, here is what the customer
needs to do:
1) ftp pscgate.progress.com (pscgate's IP address is: 192.77.186.1)
2) username: customer
passwd: ybylf7
3) cd pub/subdir (the "pub" directory should contain
nothing but other directories. The subdir
should be agreed upon between Progress
and the customer.)
4) bin (set transfer mode to binary, very
important step when transferring binary
files and executables)
5) put <filename> (puts the file from user's local machine
onto the target remote machine,
pscgate in pub directory)
get <filename> (gets the file from the source remote
machine, pscgate, and transfers
to user's local target machine)
mput <file*name> (does a multi-file "put" from the sender's
local machine to the destination machine)
mget <file*name> (does a multi-file "get" from the source
remote machine to the user's local
machine)
6) quit (command to exit ftp)
