.TH MTP l "10/16/90" "Release 1.2" "OS-9"
.SH NAME
mtp \- Module Transfer Programme
.SH SYNOPSIS
mtp dest
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I mtp
is a program for transfering OS\-9 memory modules between the host's file
system
and the memory of the OS\-9 system
.I dest
via a TCP/IP socket-based connection.
.LP
The OS\-9 system must be running the daemon
.I mtpd
for this programme to work.
.LP
Once the programme is started it prompts the user for commands which are
described below. If the two characters !! are entered at the prompt the last
command is repeated.
.SH COMMANDS
.TP
bye
This command terminates the programme.
.TP
put <file name>
This command reads a module from the named file and loads it into the OS-9
system's memory. If the module can't be found in the current working directory,
then the directories specified in the environment variable MTPPATH are searched
for the file.
.I MTPPATH
should contain a list of directories separated by colons.
.TP
uput <file name>
This is the same as
.I put
except that the server does not try to unlink any existing modules of the same
name. This command is required if downloading an updated version of a module in
ROM - the ROM version cannot be unlinked but will be masked by the new one.
.TP
get <module name> [<file name>]
This command transfers the named module from the OS-9 system's memory into the
named file on the host. If the file name is not specified, it is taken to be
the same as the module name.
.TP
cd <directory name>
This command changes the current working directory of mtp on the
.I host
system, that is where it reads and writes host files.
.TP
pwd
This command reports the current working directory on the host system.
.TP
ls <ls args>
This command invokes the
.I host's
directory listing command. It accepts the usual arguments for ls on the host.
.SH BUGS
Even though sockets are supposed to provide an error free connection it is
possible for one end to hang waiting for data or receive corrupted data.
