 3 Syntax:
 4    nr l6_ftf source_path destination_path -net net_name {-control_args}

 7 Function:  allows the user to interactively transfer files to or from a
 8 Level 6 X.25 Satellite.

11 Arguments:
12 source_path
13    designates the source file to be used for the transfer.  The format
14    is:
15 
16          {-name} file_name {-at host}
17 
18    where file_name must be preceded by -name (or -nm) if it begins with
19    a "-" to distinguish it from a control argument.  It must be
20    enclosed in quotes if it contains spaces or special characters.  It
21    must be followed by "-at host" if the file does not reside on the
22    local host.  The file_name is specified in a syntax acceptable to
23    the host on which the file resides; if supplied, the host argument
24    must be the address of the Level 6 host on the X.25 network.  If the
25    file resides on Multics, an arbitrary star name can be used.  If the
26    file resides on a Level 6, then the name "**" can be used to
27    transfer all of the files in a directory on the Level 6.
28 
29 
30 destination_path
31    specifies the destination file to be used for the transfer.  The
32    format is:
33 
34          {-name} file_name {-at host}
35 
36    It has the same syntax and restrictions as source_path.  The equal
37    convention is supported.
38 
39 
40 Control arguments:
41 -attended, -att
42    specifies that the Level 6 already has a server running and no login
43    dialogue is needed.
44 -brief, -bf
45    does not print messages as the command executes.
46 
47 -data_type ascii
48 -data_type binary
49 -data_type bcd
50    specifies the data type of the Multics file.  If binary, then the
51    Multics file must be sequential or blocked; it can not be
52    unstructured.  The default is ascii.
53 -long, -lg
54    prints a message when the transfer starts and when it is finished,
55    giving the pathnames, records transfered, etc.  (Default)
56 
57 
58 -network_name NAME, -net NAME
59    specifies the channel name of the X.25 channel (i.e.  the network
60    "name") to be used for the transfer.  This control argument is
61    required.
62 -not_attended, -natt
63    specifies that a login dialogue is needed with the Level 6 to
64    initiate the transfer.  (Default)
65 -password STR, -pw STR
66    specifies the password used by the remote host to authenticate the
67    file transfer.  There is no default.  If the remote host requires a
68    password and none is given, then the user is prompted for one with a
69    mask.
70 -user STR
71    STR specifies the user on whose behalf the file transfer is to be
72    done.  This can be used by the remote host for authentication of the
73    file transfer.  The default is the Multics User_id of the user who
74    submitted the request.
75 
76 
77 Access required:  The user must have the "dialok" attribute and have rw
78 access to the X.25 channel specified by -net.
79 
80 
81 Notes:  There is a restriction that either the source file or the
82 destination file must be on the local host (i.e.  both must not use the
83 -at argument).  Thus, third-party transfers are not allowed.
