    • ftp systemname
  2. Enter your system user name.
  3. Enter the password for your system user name.
  4. To access the directory where the concatenated document file is currently located, enter:
    • cd directoryname
  5. To transfer the file in binary format, enter:
    • bin
  6. To transfer a concatenated document file that is named NEWFILE, enter:
    • get NEWFILE
    The file is copied to the workstation, where you can open it for viewing with AFP Workbench Viewer.
  7. To exit the FTP program, enter:
