FTP on IBM RS6000 Systems

This page describes FTP operation on IBM RS6000 systems.

The IBM RS6000 starts FTP in its default configuration, so you are ready to use FTP as soon as you set up usernames and passwords.

If you have to start FTP, it is easy with the SMIT tool. If you use the fast path mechanism with the SMIT tool, this is very simple.

Type: smit inetd.conf

This points the tool to the inet daemon configuration file and gives you a menu for the daemon's processes, (list, add, change, and delete). If you "list" the processes, you will see that FTP is absent. Using the "add" command, you can click on FTP and SMIT adds it to the running daemon processes.
