Getting started

BARR/FTP

The BARR/FTP module allows you to connect to and transfer text files between your JES FTP host or standard FTP server and the Barr Enterprise Print Server. Files are transferred using File Transfer Protocol (FTP Acronym for File Transfer Protocol. In TCP/IP, an application protocol used to transfer files to and from host computers. FTP requires a user ID and perhaps a password to allow access to files on a remote host system. FTP assumes that TCP is the underlying protocol.). The BARR/FTP module can send and receive text files to and from the FTP host or FTP server. The FTP server can also send and receive binary files.

Sending files

To send files to a JES FTP host you must configure the host (JES only), an FTP connection, and a printer to route the data. You must also configure the Spool Window for routing documents to the spool printer. This is done by adding the Output dest. - NJHGPRTR column to the Spool Window and setting the output destination for printers and documents.
