FTP Printing 55
Although the
ls
and
dir
commands are always accepted, the HP
Jetdirect FTP server supports only one data connection for printing
at a time.
The transmission mode for an FTP data connection with the HP
Jetdirect print server is always in stream mode, which marks the
end-of-file by closing the data connection.
Once a data connection is established, the file transfer type (ASCII
or binary) can be specified. Although some clients may attempt to
autonegotiate a transfer type, the default is ASCII. To specify the
transfer type, enter the
bin
or
ascii
command at the FTP prompt.
FTP Login
To start an FTP session, enter the following command from a
MS-DOS or UNIX command prompt:
ftp <IP address>
where
<IP address>
is the valid IP address or node name
configured for the HP Jetdirect print server.
If the connection is successful, the HP Jetdirect model and firmware
version will be displayed.
After a successful connection, the user is prompted for a login name
and password. The default is the client’s login name. The Jetdirect
FTP server will allow any user name. Passwords are ignored.
If login is successful, a message “230” will be displayed on the client
system. In addition, the available HP Jetdirect ports for printing
will be displayed. HP Jetdirect external print servers with multiple
ports will display all available ports, with Port1 the default port. To
change ports, use the FTP
cd
(change directory) command. For an
example of a successful login, see “Example of an FTP Session.”
Ending the FTP Session
To end an FTP session, type
quit
or
bye
.
