Does anyone know how to use the xenix 'ftp'? It's kinda puzzling though.
The reason for asking is that I've just re-installed my altos 486
(xenix 3.1as0) and found an executable in /usr/bin called 'ftp'. I've
used ftp on other machines for file transfer, but i'm still not sure
why it would be on the altos distribution diskettes; it's strange that
this machine would definately be called bare-bones by just about any
standard (just the run-time ;-( ) but why in the world would it have
ftp if it couldn't be used on a regular basis by most of the users. Is there
something I'm missing about this machine?
Does it have something to do with /xenix.net ?
if I try ftp I get something like:
usage: ftp speed device send_filename | receive_filename
hmmmm...any ideas??
thanks!
