Index NAME
ftpd-ftam - MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/in.ftpd-ftam[host.socket](under
/usr/sbin/inetd )
DESCRIPTION
The
ftpd-ftam server appears to be the DARPA Internet FileTransfer Protocol server process, but is really an FTP/FTAM gateway.See
ftpd(8C)for details on the FTP service.
When using ftp with the MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway,the true destination is encoded in the user name (i.e., userAATTosi-host)or using the ftp SITE command.If further accounting information is required by the true destination,the ACCT command is used separately and the SITE commandmust be used to specify the destination.
Note that the FTP/FTAM gateway is currently available on a different port thanthe FTP service on the gateway.To select the FTP/FTAM gateway,tell your ftp client program to connect to port 531 on thegateway host.For example, using ftp (1c):
% ftpftp> open gateway 531Name (gateway:user): userAATTosihostPassword:

BUGS
Ftp current directory commands (
cd and
pwd) arenot supported by the gateway (there is no
FTAM equivalent).
The daemon should implement a crude form of access control foraccouting purposes(FTAM service might not be free in all environments).
