FTP, File Transfer Protocol, is the Internet mechanism for
transferring files between two computers. The Ecaccess FTP plugin
is an extended FTP Server adding features to submit jobs to
"ecgate" or the High Performance Computers or to exchange files
with ECFS directories.
The FTP plugin supports both methods of authentication described
in section 3.
The main purpose of the FTP plugin is to allow access to ECMWF
computing facilities from within shell scripts (using the command
ecaccess-certificate-create to generate a temporary
password). However, it can also be used interactively.
In this section it is assumed, that the Member State ECaccess
gateway (see section 2.2) runs on the
server "ecaccess.meteo.ms".
