DDN MGT Bulletin 132 DISA DDN Defense Communications System
30 August 1993 Published by: DDN Network Info Center
(NIC@NIC.DDN.MIL) (800) 365-3642
DEFENSE DATA NETWORK
MANAGEMENT BULLETIN
The DDN MANAGEMENT BULLETIN is distributed online by the DDN Network
Information Center under DISA contract as a means of communicating
official policy, procedures and other information of concern to
management personnel at DDN facilities. Back issues may be read
through the TACNEWS server ("@n" command at the TAC) or may be
obtained by FTP (or Kermit) from the NIC.DDN.MIL host [192.112.36.5]
using login="anonymous" and password="guest". The pathname
for bulletins is ddn-news/ddn-mgt-bulletin-nn.txt (where "nn" is the
bulletin number).

SUBJECT: DISA'S FTAM/FTP APPLICATION LAYER GATEWAY
DISA's Defense Information System Network (DISN) Program Management
Office is making available to MILNET users a future DISN network
component which will provide file transfer interoperability between
the DoD Standard TCP/IP and GOSIP applications. This FTAM/FTP gateway
is being advertised to MILNET users in order to collect statistical
data regarding usage for the purpose of quantifying subscriber
requirements for file transfer interoperability on DISN.
1. DISA currently has FTAM/FTP gateways on 2 Sun SPARC system platforms.
The FTP/FTAM gateways on the above mentioned Sun platforms are ISODE
(Version 7.0) and are GOSIP V.2 compliant. These platforms are intended
for experimental use primarily and for limited operational capability only.
2. To make the FTP/FTAM Gateway accessible to your users, configuration
tables must be modified to recognize the existence of a FTP/FTAM Gateway.
Both OSI and TCP hosts require completion of these steps prior to accessing
the gateway.
The following criteria must be met before continuing:
a. A host must be connected to the Milnet and support
either the TCP/IP and FTP protocol suites or the OSI and FTAM
protocol suites.
b. Your version of FTAM must support the use of the "set qualifier"
command.
c. Your version of FTP must support the use of the "PORT" operand.
d. Your FTP or FTAM client must support the use of userid and password.
e. The system administrator must have the ability to directly, or via
requests, configure the necessary information listed below in order
to establish connectivity between the client host and the
FTP/FTAM gateway host.
3. If you wish access to our ALG's, typically, you would be asked to fill
out a TCPand OSI worksheet.
a. If you have a TCP host, you must provide the following information
to the person which will assign you a gateway host:
1. The name, phone number and email address of the point of contact.
2. Your official Internet address and host name with all aliases.
3. Your DOD organization (i.e. NCTS/NAVY).
4. The OSI host you wish to connect to and any intermediate systems
to be routed through such that routing tables and host tables may
be updated. (Since a TCP administrator may not know the necessary
OSI routing information, a POC for the responding FTAM host may be
all that is required.)
5. The internet domain with which you are associated.
b. If you have an OSI host, you must provide the following information
to the person which will assign you a gateway host:
1. The name, phone number and email address of the point of contact.
2. Your DOD organization (i.e., NCTS/NAVY)
3. Your Presentation Address which includes routing domain, NSAP,
TSEL, SSEL, and PSEL.
4. If using another host to route through, the routing information
from originators end system.
4. The following are examples using the FTAM/FTP gateway. The user would
type the information inside the quotes but not the quotes.
a. FTP to FTAM file transfer Example:
$"ftp washdc1-osigw.disa.mil 531"
user(washdc1-osigw..disa.mil:tcpuser):"osiuser@osihost"
passwd(washdc1-osigw.disa..mil:osiuser@osihost)"*****"
ftp>"get file1 file1.get1"
20083 bytes received in 3 seconds(20.1kbytes/sec)
ftp>"put file3 file3.put2"
20083 bytes received in 1 second(20.1 Kbytes/sec)
b. FTAM to FTP file transfer Example:
$"ftam"
ftam>"set qualifier ftpstore"
ftam>"set realstore unix"
ftam>"open ftam.washdc1"
user(washdc1-osigw:osiuser):"tcpuser@tcphost"
password(washdc1-osigw:tcpuser@tcphost):"****"
washdc1-osigw>"get file1 file1.get1"
ftam:1069 bytes received in .1 sec
washdc1-osigw>"put file2 file2.put2"
ftam:50207 bytes sent in 5.6 sec
5. Since we are working in a testbed environment, products are continuously
being updated and tested. Therefore this document is subject to change
and may be treated as a draft.
