| Title | FTP MSP |
| Revision | |
| Purpose | Tool enabling data migration via TCP/IP |
| Package type | program |
| Application area | |
| Abstract | The FTP MSP's implementation was based on Cray's Station MSP. It enables migration of data to offline disks, via TCP/IP. It will run under both DMF 1.0 and DMF 2.0. |

| Additional comments | Documentation consists of a manual which closely resembles the UNICOS Data Migration MSP Writer's Guide, publication SN-2098. Both a LaTeX manuscript and a postscript version are available. As this documentation contains both a lengthy description of the FTP MSP and installation guidelines, any README files were deemed to be unnecessary. The FTP MSP has been tested in two different environments: in one, files were migrated to an IBM ES/9000 running under VM, in the other, to an RS6000/980 running under AIX. Unfortunately, Ultranet has so far proved to be unreliable, thus necessitating transport via (the slower) Ethernet. |
