Copying or Transferring Files by Using FTP

This task describes how to use the File Transfer Protocol utility to copy files from one system to another within BMC PATROL.

Before you begin

BMC PATROL supports the following FTP commands, which are grouped by type.

To Transfer Files to a Remote Computer

  1. Access the NETWORK application instance menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
  2. Select TCP/IP > Utilities > Ftp. BMC PATROL opens the PATROL Ftp dialog box, which provides a command prompt.
  3. Type openhostname to connect to a remote host. The ftp utility prompts you for a username and password.
  4. Set the data transfer format by typing either ASCII or bin.
  5. Navigate to the desired directory (cd, pwd, ls ) and transfer files to (put, mput ) or from (get, mget ) the remote computer. The ftp utility provides feedback on the success of each command that you enter.
  6. When you are done, type close to disconnect, and then type bye or quit to log off. BMC PATROL closes the PATROL Ftp dialog box.
