.SH NAME
zftp \- CERNLIB program to transfer ZEBRA formatted files over a network
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B zftp
.RI [ hostname ]
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
\fBzftp\fP is a file transfer program that supports the transfer of
formatted, unformatted and ZEBRA RZ files.
(If you have no idea what ZEBRA files are, it is highly unlikely that you
want to use this program instead of a standard FTP client.)
Formatted files are typically KUIP macros, command or EXEC files, source code
or even FZ ALPHA exchange format files. Unformatted files may be FZ binary
exchange format or EPIO files or any other binary file with fixed length
records.
.PP
\fBzftp\fP also provides LS, CD, PWD and RSHELL commands. It provides a
common interface on all systems and the possibility of macros (via KUIP).
It avoids the problems of file format conversion that occur when transferring
binary files between VMS and UNIX systems.
\fBzftp\fP comes with the traditional KUIP user interface, including a HELP
function that describes the available commands.
.PP
Please note that, like many other FTP programs, \fBzftp\fP transfers unencrypted
passwords over the network. It should therefore be used only within a trusted
LAN.
