Unit 13: FTP Server

VAX/VMS systems have filesystems that show as ALL CAPS notes
and directories can be recognized as filenames ending in .DIR

e.g FAQ.DIR

Files reside on disks, denoted by NAME: e.g. NETDISK:
and a file on that disk could be denoted by:
NETDISK:[FAQ.INTERNET]FTP.FAQ

You can change to that directory by typing:
cd netdisk:[faq.internet]
but since you are generally allowed only access to one disk,

you probably can use cd [faq.internet] or type cd faq and
then cd internet

TOPS-20 has directories of the form: DISK:<DIR1.DIR2>, VAX/VMS
has directories of the form DISK:[DIR1.DIR2] (use cd [-] instead
of cd .. and cd [.DIR1] instead of cd dir1). DOS, OS/2 and

Windows NT look like Unix but have shorter directory names.
VM/CMS has mini-disks that can be accessed with the CD command:

cd <vm_userid>.<vaddr>

e.g. cd arcdsk.100

For an anonymous userid:

cd <userid_of_interest>.<vaddr>
account <mini-disk_write_password>

e.g. cd bob.191

account bob1

Note: ‘account...’ may not be required if the mini-disk is not
password protected.
