6 Document Type Support

The set of FTAM document types supported by the FTP-FTAM gateway is a subset of the document types identified in the Stable Implementation Agreements for Open Systems Interconnection Protocols: Part 9 - FTAM Phase 2, produced by the March 1992 Open Systems Environment Implementors' Workshop [NIST92]. This subset was chosen for its equivalence to those document types supported by FTP. The set includes:

             FTAM-1    "ISO FTAM Unstructured text file             FTAM-3    "ISO FTAM Unstructured binary             NBS-9     "NBS-9 FTAM File directory file"

• FTAM document types map to FTP document types as follows:

             FTAM      <->       FTP             ----------------------------------             FTAM-1    <->       ASCII             FTAM-3    <->       8 bit binary             NBS-9     <-> ...
