To write a file to the MSS, issue your FTP Client's normal command used to send a file to an FTP server. The file will be placed into the cache first, then written to the MSS.

ftp> put testfile9
local: testfile9 remote: testfile9
200 PORT command ok.
125 Data connection open; transfer starting.
226 Binary Transfer complete.
5696894 bytes sent in 0.155 secs (3.6e+04 Kbytes/sec)

To efficiently write files to the MSS, the MSS FTP Service restricts the size of the file that can be written if the size is not provided ahead of time. See the section called “Displaying the MSS Specific Parameters.” on how to see what the current limit is for your FTP session. To write files that are larger than this limit, you (or your FTP Client) must tell the MSS FTP Service how large the incoming file is. You do this by issuing the ALLO command before sending the file. Some FTP Clients may do this for you automatically. If your FTP Client does not, you can do it manually: For example:

ftp> quote allo 123456789
200 ALLO command ok.
ftp> put bigfile
