.SH NAME
ftpd-ftam \- MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway
.SH SYNOPSIS
.in +.5i
.ti -.5i
.B \*(SDin.ftpd-ftam
\%[host.socket]
.in -.5i
(under \fI\*(SDinetd\fR\0)
.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIftpd-ftam\fR server appears to be the DARPA Internet File
Transfer Protocol server process, but is really an FTP/FTAM gateway.
See
.IR ftpd (8C)
for details on the FTP service.
.PP
When using \fIftp\fP with the MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway,
the true destination is encoded in the user name (i.e., user@osi-host)
or using the \fBftp\fP \fISITE\fP command.
If further accounting information is required by the true destination,
the \fIACCT\fP command is used separately and the \fISITE\fP command
must be used to specify the destination.
.PP
Note that the FTP/FTAM gateway is currently available on a different port than
the FTP service on the gateway.
To select the FTP/FTAM gateway,
tell your \fIftp\fR client program to connect to port \fB531\fR on the
gateway host.
For example, using \fIftp\fR\0(1c):
.sp
.nf
.in +.5i
% ftp
ftp> open gateway 531
Name (gateway:user): user@osihost
Password:
.in -.5i
.fi

.SH AUTHORS
Original version written by John A. Scott of the MITRE Corporation.
Upgraded to \*(lqIS-level\*(rq by Philip B. Jelfs of the Wollongong Group.
.SH BUGS
\fBFtp\fP current directory commands (\fIcd\fP and \fIpwd\fP\|) are
not supported by the gateway (there is no \fBFTAM\fP equivalent).
.PP
The daemon should implement a crude form of access control for
accouting purposes
(FTAM service might not be free in all environments).
