NFT HELP is available for the following subjects: APPEND (/AP) ............. File append commands DELETE (/DE) ............. File deletion commands DIRECTORY (/BR,/LI,/FU) .. Directory list commands EXECUTE (/EX) ............ File execution commands NODE_NAMES ............... Node name syntax SPOOL (/SP) .............. File spooling commands SUBMIT (/SB) ............. File submission commands SWITCHES ................. NFT switches TRANSFER ................. File transfer commands 1 APPEND To append to an existing file, the command format is: NFT>appendfilespec=infilespec1[,...,infilespecN]/AP 1 BRIEF A brief directory listing can be obtained by typing: >NFT [outfile=]filespec1[,...,filespecN]/BR Where the output file specifier is optional, and defaults to "TI:" A brief directory only includes a list of file nanes. The format of the /BR display is: Directory ELROND::DB0:[7,7] 3-APR-79 13:21:24 X.LST;3 X.MAC;3 X.OBJ;4 X.TSK;2 1 DELETE To delete a file, or a several files, the command format is: NFT>filespec1[,filespec2,...,filespecN]/DE 1 DIRECTORY Three forms of directory list are supported: /BR -- Brief. This lists the file names only. /LI -- Default. This lists the names, size, creation date, and indicates if the file is contiguous. /FU -- Full. This list the names, size, creation date, contiguous indicator, file protection, and last modified date. For information on the display formats type "HELP /LI", "HELP /BR" or "HELP /FU" 1 EXECUTE To execute a file, or a several files which are located on a remote node, the command format is: NFT>filespec1[,filespec2,...,filespecN]/EX 1 FULL A full directory listing can be obtained by typing: >NFT [outfile=]filespec1[,...,filespecN]/FU[:width] Where the output file specifier is optional, and defaults to "TI:" "width" is a decimal number that specifies the width of the listing, with a default value of 72. The format of the /FU display is: Directory ELROND::DB0:[7,7] 3-APR-79 13:27:39 X.OBJ;4 1./1. 29-JAN-79 17:46:34 [7,7] [RWED,RWED,RWED,R] 01-FEB-79 09:58:32(1.) X.TSK;2 4./4. C 29-JAN-79 17:46:51 [7,7] [RWED,RWED,RWED,R] 01-FEB-79 09:58:369(4.) Where the ordering of the fields is: File_name Blks_used/Blks_alloc Contig/locked_indicator Creation_date File_owner File_protection Last_modified_date(Mod_number) 1 LIST A directory listing can be obtained by typing: >NFT [outfile=]filespec1[,...,filespecN]/LI[:width] Where the output file specifier is optional, and defaults to "TI:" "width" is a decimal number that specifies the width of the listing, with a default value of 72. The format of the /LI display is: Directory ELROND::DB0:[7,7] 3-APR-79 13:26:02 X.MAC;3 2./2. 29-JAN-79 17:46:23 X.OBJ;4 1./1. 29-JAN-79 17:46:34 X.TSK;2 4./4. C 29-JAN-79 17:46:51 Where the ordering of the fields is: File_name Blks_used/Blks_alloc Contig/locked_indicator Creation_date 1 NODE_NAMES NFT allows node names to be terminated by either a double colon or an underscore. Access control information can be supplied as part of the node specificiation, for example: NODE/USER_ID/PASSWORD/ACCOUNT:: Identifies that the three access control strings "USER_ID", "PASSWORD", and "ACCOUNT" are to be used when accessing node "NODE". 1 SPOOL To spool existing files, the command format is: NFT>filespec1[,filespec2,...,filespecN]/SP To spool files after copying them, the command format is: NFT>[outfilespec]=infilespec1[,...,infilespecN]/SP 1 SB #SUBMIT 1 SUBMIT To submit a file, or several files to a remote system, the command format is: NFT>[outfilespec]=infilespec1[,...,infilespecn]/SB If the output file name, type or version are explicitly specified, the operation is considered a concatenation. In order to submit multiple files with one command line, the output filenames and types must be left to default to the input files. 1 SWITCHES Valid NFT switches are: Switch Position Action ------ -------- ------ /ID Alone on line Display NFT version number /HE Alone on line Display default NFT HElp text /DF:IN On partial filespec Set DeFaults for input files consisting of node and/or device and/or UIC /DF:OUT " Set DeFaults for output files /DF " Set DeFaults for input and output /DE On file, or after DElete file(s) list of files /EX " EXecute file /SP On file, or after SPool existing file(s) list of files On input or output SPool file(s) after transfer file name(s) in transfer command /LI On file, after list LIst directory (Regular form) of files, or on input file (when output is specified) /BR " BRief directory list /FU " FUll directory list /AS On input file Transfer in ASCII mode /IM " Transfer in IMage mode /SB " SuBmit file for execution after transfer 1 TRANSFER To transfer a file, or several files, the command format is: NFT>[outfilespec]=infilespec1[,...,infilespecN] If the output file name, type or version are explicitly specified, the operation is considered a concatenation. In order to transfer multiple files by one comand line, the output filenames and types must be left to default to the input files.
