The Command Line Interface › Transferring Files Using TCP/IP Protocols › Using IP Addresses and Names

Using IP Addresses and Names

Your system and the remote CA XCOM Data Transport system must be configured for TCP/IP for you to use TCP/IP protocols with CA XCOM Data Transport.

Before performing a file transfer, you must know the IP address, the host name, or the domain name of the remote system. Check with the network administrator of the remote system for these values.

If your system is not configured for TCP/IP, check with your network administrator for further information.

The formats of the IP address, host name, and domain name are as follows:

IP address

A unique number for a particular system, used to identify the system on the TCP/IP network. IP addresses are in the dotted decimal notation format.

Example:

123.123.78.91

Host Name

The host name of a particular system.

Example:

goodsys

Domain Name

The Domain Name Service (DNS) name. Identifies the system's group in the DNS hierarchy. The host name and the domain name make up the fully qualified domain name of the system.

Example:

goodsys.goodsite.com

goodsys is the name of the computer, and it is in the goodsite.com domain.
