File Transfer Contacts

Methodology

Send or retrieve files from the University of California Office of the President production group using TCP/IP FTP (File Transfer Protocol) as follows:

1. FTP to FTP.UCOP.EDU.

2. Logon ID is FTPUSRn, where n is your campus number (e.g., 1 for BK, 2 for SF. etc.).

3. Enter your assigned password (contact your local campus File Transfer Contact for password information.

4. If required, open or chage to the appropriate system directory.

5. Set transmission mode.

- From a mainframe or DOS client, issue the following command:

quote type a (if your sending/receiving machine is ASCII)

or

type e (if your sending/receiving machine is EBCDIC)

or

type i (if your sending/receiving machine is EBCDIC and the file contains non-display data, e.g., COMP-3);

- From a Windows FTP client select "ASCII" as the transfer type.

6. Transfer the file. Issue command:

GET <UCOP filename> <your filename>

or

PUT <UCOP filename> <your filename>

or

equivalent COPY command in a Windows FTP client.

The naming of 'your filename' is left to each location's discretion. However, the UCOP filename will be in our "normal" MVS format, which means that there will be a period between each node and be in CAPS (the ftp.ucop.edu server is case-sensitive). The 'UCOP filename' will be specified in the specifications for each campus transmission.

7. Issue the 'quit' command, as appropriate, to end the FTP session.
