Data Structure

FTP supports the following file structures:

• Byte structure

  Also called a file structure. A file consists of sequential bytes.

• Record structure

  Used only for text files (ASCII or EBCDIC). A file consists of sequential records.

• Page structure

  Files are transmitted in pages. A file contains indexed pages and therefore the receiver can save each page randomly.

On HUAWEI NetEngine 8000 F Series, FTP supports the byte structure only.
