NAME
LLNL XFTP - an X-based interface to FTP
SYNOPSIS
xftp [options]
DESCRIPTION
LLNL XFTP is a graphical user interface to FTP (File Transfer
Protocol). LLNL XFTP does not execute the ftp program; instead, it
directly communicates with remote FTP servers. LLNL XFTP is an X
client and follows the OSF/Motif look-and-feel. LLNL XFTP enables
users to transfer files and perform various directory manipulation
commands, both remotely and locally. Two especially notable features
are the ability to (1) perform "third-party" file transfers, and (2)
transfer or delete entire directory substructures.
LLNL XFTP's main window is divided into five main sections: (1) the
main menu bar at the top of the window, (2) the diagnostics log at
the bottom, (3) the file transfer controls in the center, and (4 and
5) the "left" and "right" host sections to either side of the file
transfer controls.
LLNL XFTP can be connected to zero, one, or two hosts. The hosts may
be any combination of local and remote hosts (the local host is the
client host upon which LLNL XFTP is running). In this document, a
connected host is referred to as either the "left" or "right" host,
depending on whether it is displayed in the left or right host
section, respectively.
Each host section consists of four major graphical elements: (1) a
label which displays the host's name; (2) a menu bar whose menus
contain many commands that operate on the host; (3) a "directory"
menu; and (4) a scrollable "directory list."
Each host's Connect menu contains commands for
connecting/disconnecting local and remote hosts.
Each host's Dir menu contains various commands for creating new
directories, and for changing and displaying the current directory.
Each host's Select menu contains commands for selecting/deselecting
entries in the current directory (the selections appear in the
scrollable list of directory entries).
Each host's Ops menu contains several commands that operate on
selected directory entries.
Each host's directory menu contains each link of the path of the
current directory (the last link is displayed). By selecting a link
- 1 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
in the path, the current directory is correspondingly changed.
(Hence, this is a mechanism to traverse up the host's directory
structure.)
Each host's directory list contains the entries of the current
directory. One way to select/deselect a directory entry is to click
on it. If an entry is double-clicked, an attempt is made to change
the current directory to that entry. (Hence, this is a way to
traverse down the host's directory structure.)
The file transfer controls in the middle of the main window allow the
user to initiate file transfers on selected entries. The transfers
can go from left to right or from right to left. Angle brackets in
the Copy and Rcopy buttons indicate the direction of the transfer
(e.g., ">>Copy>>" indicates that a left-to-right transfer would take
place). The View button causes the selected file to be displayed.
The scrollable diagnostics log window at the bottom of the main window
displays error and status information. The user can control the level
of verbosity of messages written to this window via the user
preference Diagnostics. The contents of this window can be saved to a
file by selecting the Save Log item in the Log menu. The diagnostics
window can be cleared by selecting the Clear Log item in the Log menu.
There is a flag to the left of the diagnostics log window that
indicates whether an operation completes successfully or not. If an
operation fails then (1) a beep is emitted, (2) the flag changes from
green to red (white to black on monochrome displays), (3) the "OK" in
the flag changes to "E", and (4) an error message is written to the
diagnostic log window. The next operation will clear the error flag.
LLNL XFTP automatically caches (1) wildcard expressions, (2) paths of
current directories, (3) host names and user names used in connecting
to remote hosts, and (4) quoted commands. The purpose of each cache
is to reduce the amount of typing required. For example, when the
user wishes to apply a wildcard expression to select directory
entries, a list of recently referenced wildcard expressions for that
host will be presented to the user; the user can then double-click on
an existing wildcard expression to apply it. The cache is
automatically preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions in a file named
".xftpcache" in the users home directory.
OPTIONS
LLNL XFTP accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line options,
as well as the following option:

GETTING STARTED
Use the Connect menus to connect the two sides to the desired
combination of local and/or remote hosts. (Depending on how the user
preferences are set, when LLNL XFTP comes up some combination of the
left and right sides might already be connected to the local host.)
Once connected, traverse through a host's directory structure by (1)
using the directory name menu (the menu just above the directory
list), (2) double-clicking on entries in the directory list, (3)
selecting an item in the Go to Previous Directory submenu in the
host's Dir menu, or (4) selecting the Change Directory item in the
host's Dir menu.
Obtain different types of views into a host's current directory by
selecting the Display Directory (Long) or Display Directory (Table)
items in the host's Dir menu.
Select/deselect directory entries to operate on by (1) single-clicking
on entries in the main directory list, (2) single-clicking on entries
in the tabular directory list, (3) dragging the mouse with the left
button held down over entries in the tabular directory list, or (4) by
selecting any of the items in the host's Select menu.
Transfer selected items by clicking on the Copy or Rcopy (recursive
copy) buttons. Be sure to first set the file transfer mode by
toggling the appropriate button (ASCII or Binary) in the main window.
View a selected file by clicking on the View button. Configure the
viewer by selecting item Viewer Preferences in the Options menu. Be
sure to first set the file transfer mode by toggling the appropriate
button (ASCII or Binary) in the main window.
Perform other types of operations on selected items by selecting any
one of the items in the host's Ops menu.
Configure LLNL XFTP by selecting the Preferences item in the Options
menu.
COMMANDS
LLNL XFTP contains a large number of commands. The commands are found
in (1) the main menus, (2) the host menus, and (3) in the Xfer Ops
controls. Here is a list of the commands:
About LLNL XFTP (in File menu)
Gives version information.
Change Directory (in Dir menus)
Change the current directory. A dialog pops up to prompt for the
directory to change to. The directory may be specified with a
full or relative path. Previously referenced directories are
cached and displayed in a scrollable list. Double-click on a
- 3 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
path in the list to change to that directory. Single click on a
path in the list to place that entry into the text field labeled
"Directory:", where it can be edited. Click on the OK button to
change to the directory displayed in the text field. (See user
preferences Add to Cache, Diagnostics, Directory Cache Size, Host
Cache Size, and Sort Caches.)
Clear Log (in Log menu)
Clear the diagnostics log window.
Connect to Anonymous (in Connect menus)
Easily connect to an anonymous FTP site. If currently connected,
the connection is first closed. A dialog pops up to prompt for
the remote host, user name and password. The user name is
initialized to "anonymous". The password is initialized to the
value of the user preference Anonymous Ftp Password (which you
will probably want to set to your email address). An optional
port number may follow the host name (using a space as the
delimiter). Previously used host/user name pairs are cached, and
those with user names "anonymous" or "ftp" are displayed in a
scolled list labeled "Recently Referenced Hosts:". Double-
clicking on a host/user name pair initiates a connection.
Single-clicking on a host/user name pair places those values in
to the host name and user name fields, where they can be edited.
Click on the Connect button to initiate a connection. (See user
preferences Add To Cache, Anonymous Ftp Password, Diagnostics,
Host Cache Size, User Cache Size, and Sort Caches.)
Connect to Local (in Connect menus)
Connect to the local (client) host. If currently connected, the
connection is first closed. (See user preferences Left Auto
Local Login and Right Auto Local Login.)
Connect to Remote (in Connect menus)
Connect to a remote host (use Connect to Anonymous to more easily
connect to an anonymous FTP site). If currently connected, the
connection is first closed. A dialog pops up to prompt for the
remote host and user names. The user name is initialized to the
value of the environment variable USER. An optional port number
may follow the host name (using a space as the delimiter).
Previously used host/user name pairs are cached and those with
user names other than "anonymous" and "ftp" displayed in a
scolled list labeled "Recently Referenced Hosts:". Double-
clicking on a host/user name pair initiates a connection.
Single-clicking on a host/user name pair places those values into
the host name and user name fields, where they can be edited.
Click on the Connect button to initiate a connection. (See user
preferences Add To Cache, Diagnostics, Host Cache Size, User
Cache Size, and Sort Caches.)
Contextual Help (in Help menu)
- 4 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
Enter contextual-help mode. The mouse cursor changes to a
pointing hand. Move the hand and click on any graphical element
in the main window that you wish to know more about.
Copy (in Xfer Ops controls)
Transfers the selected files according to the mode (ASCII or
Binary) specified in Xfer Mode. A dialog pops up to enable the
user to monitor the progress of the transfers. The dialog
contains a button for aborting the transfers. (See user
preferences Beep When Ops Done, Diagnostics, Initial Transfer
Mode, and Inquire On Copy.)
Delete Selected Entry(s) (in Ops menus)
Deletes the selected entries. A dialog pops up to enable the
user to monitor the progress of the deletions. The dialog
contains a button for aborting the deletions. (See user
preferences Beep When Ops Done, Diagnostics, and Inquire On
Delete.)
Deselect All Entries (in Select menus)
Deselect all the entries in the host's current directory.
Disconnect (in Connect menus)
Close the currently connected host. (See user preference
Diagnostics.)
Display Directory (Long) (in Dir menus)
Pops up a dialog that displays the contents of the current
directory in a scrollable list. If supported by the host (and
this is almost always the case), additional information about
each directory entry is displayed, such as file length and access
restrictions. This display is automatically updated as the
current directory changes. This directory display does not
support selecting entries or displaying the current selection.
Warning: Using this feature can increase network traffic, put an
additional load on the remote host, and slow down interactivity.
(See user preference Diagnostics and Sort Long Lists By Date.)
Display Directory Path (in Dir menus)
Pops up a dialog that displays the current directory for that
host. It will be automatically updated as the current directory
changes. (See user preference Diagnostics.)
Display Directory (Table) (in Dir menus)
Pops up a dialog that displays the contents of the current
directory in tabular form. This dialog may be used to view and
modify the directory's selected entries. Entries may be
selected/deselected either by clicking or by moving the cursor
over the entries with the mouse button down. Moving the mouse
too quickly can cause some of the entries to be skipped. If an
entry is double-clicked, an attempt is made to change the current
- 5 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
directory to that entry. This display is automatically updated
as the current directory changes. (See user preference
Diagnostics.)
Getting Started (in Help menu)
Describes how to get started using LLNL XFTP.
Go to Previous Directory (in Dir menus)
Displays a pullright menu that allows the user to easily change
the current directory to a previously referenced directory. (See
user preferences Add to Cache, Diagnostics, Directory Cache Size,
Host Cache Size, and Sort Caches.)
LLNL XFTP Overview (in Help menu)
Gives a high-level description of LLNL XFTP.
Make Directory (in Dir menus)
Pops up a dialog to prompt for the name of a directory to make in
the current directory. The user preference Enter Dir Upon
Creation controls whether the the newly created directory is
automatically entered upon creation. (See user preferences
Diagnostics and Enter Dir Upon Creation.)
Move Selected Entry(s) (in Ops menus)
Move selected entries from the current directory to another
directory on the same host. This is similar to the UNIX mv
command, but without rename capability. (See user preferences
Beep When Ops Done, and Diagnostics.)
Preferences (in Options menu)
Display the user preferences dialog. See USER PREFERENCES
section for a description of user preferences.
Quit (in File menu)
Terminate LLNL XFTP.
Rcopy (in Xfer Ops controls)
Recursively transfers the selected entries according to the mode
(ASCII or Binary) specified in Xfer Mode. If a selected entry is
a directory, an attempt is made to transfer its entire directory
subtree. The user preference Overwrite Dir On Copy lets the user
control whether or not it is okay to overwrite an existing
directory. A dialog pops up to enable the user to monitor the
progress of the transfers. The dialog contains a button for
aborting the transfers. (See user preferences Beep When Ops
Done, Diagnostics, Initial Xfer Mode, Inquire On Copy, and
Overwrite Dir On Copy.)
Recursively Delete Selected Entry(s) (in Ops menus)
Recursively deletes the selected entries. A dialog pops up to
enable the user to monitor the progress of the deletions. The
- 6 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
dialog contains a button for aborting the deletions. Warning:
Exercise extreme caution when using this command because it
deletes entire directory subtrees. To minimize the chance of an
unintentional deletion, this menu item is greyed out unless the
user preference Recursive Delete Enabled is enabled. (See user
preferences Beep When Ops Done, Diagnostics, Inquire On Delete,
and Recursive Delete Enabled.)
Rename Selected Entry(s) (in Ops menus)
Pop up a dialog to individually rename selected entries. This is
similar to the UNIX mv command except that the renamed entries
cannot be moved to another directory. (See user preference
Diagnostics.)
Save Log (in Log menu)
Write the contents of the diagnostics window to a user-specified
file. The existing contents of the diagnostics window are not
removed.
Save Preferences (in Options menu)
Save the current settings of the user and viewer preferences.
Select All Entries (in Select menus)
Select all the entries in the host's current directory.
Send Quoted Command (in Ops menus)
Pops up a dialog to prompt for a "raw" command to send to the FTP
server of the remote host. Previously issued commands are cached
and displayed in a scrolled list. Double-clicking on a command
in the list issues that command. To have a command act on items
selected in the host's directory list, use the quote placeholder
(which by default is "<>") to represent a selected item. For
example, type "stage 1 <>" to send a STAGE command to the the
remote host for each selected item. The quote placeholder can
changed via the user preferences. (See user preferences Beep
When Ops Done, Diagnostics, and Quote Placeholder.)
Use Wildcard (in Select menus)
Pops up a dialog to prompt for a wildcard expression to use in
selecting entries in the host's current directory list.
Previously referenced wildcard expressions are cached and
displayed in a scrolled list. Double-clicking on an item in the
list applies that wildcard expression. Single-clicking on an
item in the list places the expression in a text field where it
may be edited. Choose the toggle item Replace Filename Selection
to cause the currently selected entries to be cleared before
applying the wildcard. Choose the toggle item Add to Filename
Selection to cause the entries selected by the wildcard to be
added to the current selection. (See user preference Initial
Wildcard Mode).

Using Help (in Help menu)
Gives a description of the online help package.
View (in Xfer Ops controls)
Displays the selected file. The Viewer Preferences dialog
(accessible via the Options menu) can be used to control whether
the file will be displayed using the built-in viewer or using an
external viewer of the user's choice (e.g., emacs or xv). The
selection of the viewer is configurable, based on the file
extension (e.g., ".gif" or ".jpg"). There is no limit on the
number or types of viewers that can be simultaneously displayed.
The file is transferred according to the mode (ASCII or Binary)
specified in Xfer Mode. A dialog pops up to enable the user to
monitor the progress of the transfer. The dialog contains a
button for aborting the transfer.
The destination of the transfer is a temporary directory created
in the directory defined as P_tmpdir in the include file stdio.h.
If the environment variable TMPDIR is defined, it is used as the
directory. The temporary directory, and the files it contains,
are automatically deleted when the user dismisses the viewer or
terminates LLNL XFTP.
If the file is recognized as being compressed, it is expanded
before viewing. LLNL XFTP excutes the following decompressors
based on the file extension: gunzip for ".z" and ".gz";
uncompress for ".Z"; atob for "atob"; and uudecode for ".uu".
LLNL XFTP searches for the decompressor application in the
standard way using the PATH environment variable.
Viewer Preferences (in Options menu)
Display the viewer preferences dialog. See VIEWER PREFERENCES
section for a description of viewer preferences.
USER PREFERENCES
Selecting item Preferences in the Options menu pops up a dialog that
allows the user to configure LLNL XFTP according to his/her
preferences. The user is presented with a number of configuration
parameters, which are set by either toggling, sliding, or typing.
Click the Apply button to cause the new values to take effect. The OK
button has the same effect as Apply, but the dialog is also closed.
The Cancel button undoes changes made since OK or Apply were last
pressed. The preferences can be preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions
in a text file named ".xftprc" in the user's home directory. The user
may alter the order the preferences are presented in the dialog by (1)
terminating LLNL XFTP, (2) using a text editor to change the order of
lines in ".xftprc" and (3) restarting LLNL XFTP.
Add To Cache
Specifies whether newly referenced items should be added to the
- 8 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
directory, quoted command, wildcard, and host/user caches. It is
usually desirable to choose Yes. Choose No if referencing a
series of seldom-referenced items that would clear the cache of
your favorite entries.
Anonymous Ftp Password
The value to initialize the "Password" field of the Connect to
Anonymous dialog to. This is normally your email address. The
Connect to Anonymous dialog is accessible via each host's Connect
menu.
Beep When Ops Done
Specifes whether to beep when each set of deletion, move, quoted
command, and file transfer operations completes.
Diagnostics
Specifies the level of diagnostics information to be written to
the diagnostics log window. Choose Quiet for error messages,
only. Choose Normal for error messages and success messages.
Choose Verbose for error messages, success messages, and replies
received from the FTP servers. Choose Debug for error messages,
success messages, commands sent to the FTP servers, replies
received from the FTP servers, and other assorted diagnostics.
Directory Cache Size
The maximum number of previously referenced directory paths
cached per host. The cache is preserved across LLNL XFTP
sessions.
Enhance Colors
Speficies whether to "pretty up" some of the graphical elements
(such as scrolled lists and text fields) by changing the normal
background colors. This preference has no effect on monochrome
displays. Choose Yes to enhance the appearance, or No for the
usual Motif look.
Enter Dir Upon Creation
Specifies whether to automatically enter a newly created
directory.
Host Cache Size
The maximum number of hosts to cache items for. The cache is
preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions.
Initial Logfile Name
The default file name to be presented to the user in the "Save
Log" dialog.
Initial Transfer Mode
The default file transfer mode (ASCII or Binary).
- 9 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
Initial Wildcard Mode
The default mode of the "Use Wildcard" dialog. Choose Replace to
make "Replace Filename Selection" the default. Choose Add to
make "Add to Filename Selection" the default.
Inquire On Copy
Specifies whether to pop up a dialog that asks the user to
confirm that the indicated transfers should take place.
Inquire On Delete
Specifies whether to pop up a dialog that asks the user to
confirm that the indicated deletions should take place.
Inquire On Move
Specifies whether to pop up a dialog that asks the user to
confirm that the indicated moves should take place.
Inquire On Quote
Specifies whether to pop up a dialog that asks the user to
confirm that the indicated commands should be sent.
Left Auto Local Login
Specifies whether to automatically connect the left side to the
local (client) host upon starting LLNL XFTP.
Max Ftp Retries
Specifies the maximum number of retries LLNL XFTP will attempt if
it receives a response from an FTP server that indicates the
desired operation failed because of some temporary condition on
the remote host.
Max Time For Ftp Reply
Specifies the maximum time in seconds that LLNL XFTP will wait
for a response from an FTP server before concluding that the
connection has been broken.
Overwrite Dir On Copy
Specifies whether it is okay to overwrite an existing directory
when recursively copying another directory by the same name. If
a sink directory is overwritten then none of its subdirectories
will be deleted, but new files and subdirectories might be added
to it, and some existing files might be replaced.
Preserve Vms Ver Nums
Specifies whether to preserve VMS file version numbers when
transferring files from a VMS system. This is only an issue for
those VMS FTP servers that provide numbers (not all do).
Print Password In Debug
Specifies whether to print passwords in the log window when the
user preference Diagnostics is set to Debug.

29 September 1995
Quote Cache Size
The number of quoted commands to cache. The cache is preserved
across LLNL XFTP sessions.
Quote Placeholder
This is used as a placeholder in a quoted command to represent
items selected in the directory list. For example, the quoted
command "stage 1 <>" will send a STAGE command to the remote host
for each selected item. The default value is "<>", but the
placeholder can be set to any nonnull printable string.
Recursive Delete Enabled
Specifies whether to enable the Recursively Delete Selected
Entry(s) item in the Ops menus. Choose No to help prevent
accidental recursive deletions.
Right Auto Local Login
Specifies whether to automatically connect the right side to the
local (client) host upon starting LLNL XFTP.
Sort Caches
Specifies whether to sort (by ASCII-collating sequence) cached
items when they are displayed in dialogs. If Yes, then sort. If
No, then the most recently referenced items are placed at the top
of the list.
Sort Longs Lists By Date
Specifies whether to attempt to sort the "long" directory lists
by time modified (with most recent listed first) instead of by
name. The Yes option is considered unsafe because some FTP
servers to not support this option and may give unpredictable
results. (Most UNIX hosts support this option.)
Store Unique
Specifies whether existing sink files are to be renamed before
file transfer occurs. If Yes then the existing sink file is
typically renamed by appending a "." (period) followed by an
integer between 1 and 99.
Symbols On Dir Entries
Specifies whether to append single characters to directory
entries in order to distinguish their types. If Yes(Unsafe) is
chosen, "/" is appended to directories, "*" is appended to
executables, "@" is appended to symbolic links, and "=" is
appended to AF_UNIX address family sockets. The "Yes" option is
considered to be unsafe because some FTP servers do not support
this feature and may give unpredictable results. (Most UNIX
hosts support this option.) Furthermore, if you are referencing
a directory or directory entry whose name ends with one of the
special characters, you will need to select No(Safe). When in
doubt, select No(Safe). One further note: use of this feature
- 11 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
can dramatically degrade interactivity.
Use Last Dir At Login
Specifies whether to automatically enter the most recently
referenced directory after connecting to a host. If this option
is requested, but is not possible to perform (e.g., because the
directory no longer exists), an error message will be generated,
and your home directory will be entered. Note: This mechanism
attempts to enter the last directory referenced on the host,
regardless of whether it is another user's directory.
User Cache Size
The number of user names to cache (for remote hosts). The cache
is preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions.
Wildcard Cache Size
The number of wildcard expressions to cache. The cache is
preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions.
VIEWER PREFERENCES
Selecting item Viewer Preferences in the Options menu pops up a dialog
that allows the user to control which file will be displayed with
which viewer, based on the file extension.
A file to be viewed is first transferred to a temporary directory and
then, if necessary, is decompressed. The file extension (e.g.,
".gif") is then examined to determine which viewer the file is to be
displayed in. There are two types of viewers: the viewer built into
LLNL XFTP (which is suitable for displaying text files) and external
viewers (e.g., emacs for text and xv for graphics).
Single-click on an entry in the Extensions list to place that
extension and its associated command line into the Extension and
Viewer Command Line text fields, respectively.
An extension is a file suffix that begins with a period ("."). A
special entry in the extensions list, "OTHERS" represents all files
that do not have their extension listed (including files with no
extensions).
The pattern "<>" in a command line is a placeholder for the name of
the file to be viewed. A blank command line indicates that the
built-in viewer is to be used. To add a new extension to the list,
fill in the Extension and Viewer Command Line text fields and press
the Add button. If the text in Extension does not begin with a
period, one will be added. If the extension is already in the list,
it will be replaced.
To replace the command line associated with an extension, (1) single-
click on the list item to select it, (2) edit the command line, and
(3) press the Replace button.
- 12 - Formatted: April 20, 2024
xftp(1) xftp(1)
29 September 1995
To delete an extension from the list, single-click on the list item to
select it and then press the Delete button. The "OTHERS" entry cannot
be deleted (but it's command line can be replaced).
Click the Apply button to cause the new changes to take effect. The
OK button has the same effect as Apply, but the dialog is also closed.
The Cancel button undoes the changes made since OK or Apply were last
pressed.
The viewer preferences can be preserved across LLNL XFTP sessions in a
text file named ".xftpview" in the user's home directory (select Save
Preferences in the main window's Options menu).
LIMITATIONS
Here are some things to watch out for:
LLNL XFTP might not work with some old X servers. For example, some
older OpenWindows servers might dump core. MacX fans should use
nothing older than version 1.1.7b.
Old, buggy versions of Motif can cause weirdness.
LLNL XFTP might not work correctly with some non-Unix FTP servers.
(If you can give us temporary access to such a server, we might be
able to fix the problem.)
Out-of-spec FTP servers can cause untold grief. (Most Unix-based
servers work correctly.)
Third-party file transfers will not work unless at least one of the
remote FTP servers supports the PASV (passive) command.
