Step 1: Bring up the MS-DOS prompt on your PC.

Step 2: Type: FTP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your first HP3000's IP address of interest)

Step 3: at name: prompt, type in your HP3000 user.account,name

Step 4: at password prompt, type in the password(s) (if necessary)

Step 5: Once on, type bin, to set in binary transfer

Step 6: Type lcd c:\mydirectory\myfolder to set in the folder on your PC
where you wish to receive the file. "LCD" stands for local change directory.

Step 7: Type: get myfile

At this point, your binary MPE namespace file has now been transferred onto
your PC, transferred as a binary file, and is resident at which file folder
you set in using the lcd command. However, it got here with no remembrance of
its MPE file characteristics. There is no such structure in standard FTP. You
have to write those down on a separate piece of paper.

Step 8: Type: quit to exit FTP.

Step 9: Type: ftp xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (IP address of second HP3000)

Step 10: Type user, account,group information for second machine.

Step 11. Type password(s), if required.

Step 12. Type bin to set in binary transfer.

Step 13. Type lcd c:\mydirectory\myfolder set Windows FTP's local pointer at
your PC directory.

Step 14. Type:

     put myfile;rec=128,1,f,binary;disc=1503;code=BASFP

(changing the file's parameters to whatever is appropriate to your particular
file).

Further, if you wish to change the file's name on the second machine as you
transfer it, type instead:

     put myfile newname;rec=128,1,f,binary;disc=1503;code=basfp

Step 15. Voila, you're done. Type: quit
