12.SH NAME
13ftpd-ftam \- MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway
14.SH SYNOPSIS
15.in +.5i
16.ti -.5i
17.B \*(SDin.ftpd-ftam
18\%[host.socket]
19.in -.5i
20(under \fI\*(SDinetd\fR\0)
21.SH DESCRIPTION
22The \fIftpd-ftam\fR server appears to be the DARPA Internet File
23Transfer Protocol server process, but is really an FTP/FTAM gateway.
24See
25.IR ftpd (8C)
26for details on the FTP service.
27.PP
28When using \fIftp\fP with the MITRE FTP/FTAM gateway,
29the true destination is encoded in the user name (i.e., user@osi-host)
30or using the \fBftp\fP \fISITE\fP command.
31If further accounting information is required by the true destination,
32the \fIACCT\fP command is used separately and the \fISITE\fP command
33must be used to specify the destination.
34.PP
35Note that the FTP/FTAM gateway is currently available on a different port than
36the FTP service on the gateway.
37To select the FTP/FTAM gateway,
38tell your \fIftp\fR client program to connect to port \fB531\fR on the
39gateway host.
40For example, using \fIftp\fR\0(1c):
41.sp
42.nf
43.in +.5i
44% ftp
45ftp> open gateway 531
46Name (gateway:user): user@osihost
47Password:
48.in -.5i
49.fi

52.SH AUTHORS
53Original version written by John A. Scott of the MITRE Corporation.
54Upgraded to \*(lqIS-level\*(rq by Philip B. Jelfs of the Wollongong Group.
55.SH BUGS
56\fBFtp\fP current directory commands (\fIcd\fP and \fIpwd\fP\|) are
57not supported by the gateway (there is no \fBFTAM\fP equivalent).
58.PP
59The daemon should implement a crude form of access control for
60accouting purposes
61(FTAM service might not be free in all environments).
