NIC: 17451                                                  12 July 1973


                    The UCSD-CC Server-FTP Facility

1.0 Introduction

   The UCSD Computer Center is a service site that must support itself
   by charging for the usage of its facilities.  Because of this, the
   prospective user of our Server-FTP must supply a valid usercode
   (USER) and password (PASS) before any further FTP commands are
   accepted.

   Through FTP, you are allowed to access or store files on our disk or
   on any of our 7 or 9-track tape drives.  Each individual file
   transfer is handled by a separate process on the B6700 and the user
   is charged for the processor, I/O, core, and (if any) tape charges
   incurred by this process (note that these charges are quite minimal).
   Each of these transfer processes is given a separate "job" number and
   is therefore billed separately for each transfer by our accounting
   system.

   Please note that we have implemented FTP as defined in RFC# 354 (July
   8, 1972) except as noted.

2.0 FTP Commands

(1)   USER

      As mentioned, you must supply a legal, known, UCSD--CC user-code.
      Following which, the "230" message will be given, asking for the
      corresponding password.

(2)   PASS

      After the 'USER' command is accepted, you must then enter the PASS
      command giving the corresponding password.  If the usercode and
      password are of correct form, if they match, if there is money in
      your account, if your account is active, and if you are authorized
      for "Q1" service, then you will be properly logged-on and the
      "230" response will be returned.

(3)   BYTE

      We allow only the (default) byte-size of "8" - all others will be
      rejected.
