  NAME

    vftam, xvftam - Runs visual interface to ISO-based file transfer utilities

  SYNOPSIS

    vftam [-C] [-R|-S] [-bhg] [-n nodename] [-u username] [-p password] [-s
    source] [-d destination]

    xvftam [-C] [-R|-S] [-bhg] [-n nodename] [-u username] [-p password] [-s
    source] [-d destination]

  FLAGS

    -C               Starts the interface as a collapsed icon on the screen.
                     (To see the interface, click on the icon.)

    -R               Sets the Action to Receive.

    -S               Sets the Action to Send.

    -b               Sets the bell option.  The bell is sounded after each
                     file transfer command is completed.

    -h               Sets the hash option.  A number sign (#) is displayed for
                     each data block transferred.  The size of a data block is
                     1024 bytes.

    -g               Sets the globbing option.  (This option expands wildcard
                     characters in filenames.)

    -n nodename      Sets the nodename for remote node 2. If this flag is not
                     used, no nodename is set.  By default, node 1 is the
                     local node.

    -u username      Sets the username for remote node 2. If this flag is not
                     used, no default username is set.  By default, the
                     username for node 1 is the user issuing the vftam
                     command.

    -p password      Sets the password for username on remote node 2. The
                     password is never displayed on the form.  If this flag is
                     not used, no default password is set.  The password is
                     not set for node 1.

    -s source        Sets the default source file.  If this flag is not used,
                     no default source file is displayed on the form.

    -d destination   Sets the default destination file.  If this flag is not
                     used, not default destination file is displayed on the
                     form.

  DESCRIPTION

    The vftam and xvftam commands run visual interfaces to the ISO ftam file
    transfer utility.

    Help is available within vftam, and is accessed by clicking on the help
    button with the mouse.

    Use the vftam command for Environ V-based window systems.  Use the xvftam
    command for X Window-based window systems.

  EXAMPLES

    1.  To start the interface, enter the vftam command with no flags.

        vftam

        c.LI This example sets up the form to receive a file from remote node
        wbw with account bob.  It also specifies the source file on the remote
        machine to be /usr2/bob/doc/man1.

        vftam -R -n wbw -u bob -s /usr2/bob/doc/man1


    2.  This example sets up the form to send file(s) to remote node john.  It
        also sets the bell option so that a bell will be rung after each file
        transfer has completed.

        vftam -S -n john -b


    3.  This example sets up the form with a specified source file
        /usr/john/status and a specified destination /usr/tmp.

        vftam -s /usr/john/status -d /usr/tmp
