Instructions to put the files from Unix/Aix onto a PC workstation using ftp (file transfer protocol)
You will need to have network connection between your main server and the workstation you wish to send the file to. If you use Tiny Term to connect to On-Staff from the workstation you are networked.
If you would like to see where the files reside on the Unix/Aix system you can do the following before putting the files on your PC:
At any menu press [Control][E], then select Unix Shell
At the $ prompt type: l (Unix) or ls (Aix) (this lists the files & tables with in the directory)
ls -lt out*¦more will list the files with their size, and will stop at the
bottom of a page. Press [Enter] to continue viewing the list, [Q] to stop.
Your cursor will be returned to the $ prompt. To get back into On-Staff press [Control][D]
NOTE: If you have created a file from OnSTAFF by replacing the printer destination by typing: DISK and then assigning a file name, those files should be in the /u/staff/run directory.
