Using the LAN to Control the Instrument

Remember that in any type of programming using LAN you should avoid constantly opening

and closing connections. This uses up processing resources, adds to your system overhead,

and can cause problems with asynchronous implementation of successive commands.

When you are sending the instrument multiple commands: open the connection, send all

the commands, and close the connection.

The Standard UNIX FTP Command:

Synopsis ftp [-g] [-i] [-n] [-v] [server-host]

[-B DataSocketBufferSize]

Description The ftp command is used to transfer files using the File Transfer Protocol.

ftp transfers files over a network connection between a local machine and the remote

server-host.

Options and Parameters When ftp is invoked with a server-host specified, a connection

is opened immediately. Otherwise, ftp waits for user commands.

The following options are supported:

-g disables expansion of shell metacharacters in file and directory names

-i disables prompts during multiple-file operations

-n disables automatic log-in

-v enables verbose output

-B specifies a new DataSocketBufferSize

server-host the name or address of the remote host.
