1. Introduction
The TCP/IP and OSI protocol suites will coexist in the Internet
community for several years to come. As more and more OSI hosts are
fielded on the Internet, the requirement for gateways between the two
protocol suites becomes more pressing.
This specification describes an application layer gateway providing
interoperability between the TCP/IP File Transfer Protocol (FTP) and
the OSI File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM) protocol. The
proposed application layer gateway is based on a bi-directional set
of mappings between the FTP and FTAM protocols. Since the protocols
Mindel & Slaski [Page 2]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
have quite different command structures, the mappings between them
are not one-to-one. This paper assumes knowledge of the File
Transfer Protocol (FTP) [RFC959] and the File Transfer, Access, and
Management Protocol (FTAM) [ISO8571-1,2,3,4,5].
Two important goals of the mappings are to:
Provide FTP users with as much emulated FTP capability on an
FTAM Responder as possible, and
Provide FTAM users with as much emulated FTAM capability on an
FTP Server as possible.
Though it is anticipated that the application layer gateway will be
implemented on full protocol suites of both TCP/IP and OSI, at least
one implementation of such a gateway (included in the ISO Development
Environment) can be configured to operate FTAM over either OSI or
TCP/IP lower-layer services.
1.1. Relationship to Other Work
Ideas presented in this specification are based on lessons learned in
fielding the gateway on the MILNET, operational at NCTS Washington
D.C. since 1989, and on the efforts of M. A. Wallace et al. of the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) [NIST86]. In
1986, NIST published a design document for an FTP-FTAM gateway.
Since that time, at least one implementation (for a subset of the FTP
and FTAM protocols) of the gateway has been developed [MITRE87] and
is included with the ISODE. This implementation is based on the NIST
protocol translator gateway design [NIST86].
This document's contribution to the advancement of the FTP-FTAM
gateway concept is to:
* Enhance the user interaction capability provided by the ISODE
implementation of the FTP-FTAM application layer gateway.
* Clarify and enhance the mappings (FTP to FTAM, FTAM to FTP)
documented by NIST.
* Provide guidelines for fielding the FTP-FTAM application layer
gateway on the Internet so that it is useful as an Internet
resource.
* Produce a formal specification for the FTP-FTAM gateway suitable
for implementors to use in building additional FTP-FTAM
gateways.
Mindel & Slaski [Page 3]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
* Provide a formal specification for organizations wishing to
procure FTP-FTAM gateways.
1.2. Overview of Gateway Operation
The gateway provides a virtual end-to-end application file transfer
service. As data is sent via FTP, the gateway immediately maps the
requested function to FTAM and passes it to the FTAM host. In a
similar fashion, but using a different set of mappings, an FTAM
request is sent to the gateway, immediately mapped to an FTP
function, and passed along to the FTP host.
In FTP, the two parties involved in a file transfer are the Client
and Server. The Client is responsible for initiating a connection to
the Server. Once the connection is established, all service requests
originate from the Client. The FTP-FTAM gateway does not support the
FTP three node model.
In FTAM, the two parties involved in a file transfer are the
Initiator and Responder. The Initiator is responsible for initiating
a connection to the Responder. Once the connection is established,
either the Initiator or Responder may issue service requests to the
other.
The FTP-FTAM gateway provides two sets of services:
1. FTP-Initiated Gateway Services
Utilized when an FTP Client contacts the FTP-FTAM gateway to
instigate a file transfer with an FTAM Responder.
2. FTAM-Initiated Gateway Services
Utilized when an FTAM Initiator contacts the FTP-FTAM
gateway to instigate a file transfer with an FTP Server.
The gateway services' names were selected to identify the roles that
the FTP-FTAM gateway plays when performing file transfers. For
example, when a file transfer is instigated by an FTP Client, it
contacts the FTP Server portion of the gateway, which maps protocol
information to the FTAM Initiator portion of the gateway, which in
turn contacts the remote FTAM Responder. This example scenario uses
the FTP-Initiated Gateway Services.
Figure 1 illustrates the perspective of the application process in
the FTP-Initiated service. Figure 2 illustrates that of the FTAM-
Initiated service.

2. Gateway Architecture
The gateway architecture, termed a protocol translator [NIST86], is
depicted in Figure 3. It implements TCP/IP and OSI protocol stacks
with an application level process providing the link between the two.
The link between FTP and FTAM is defined by two sets of protocol
mappings, one each for the FTP-Initiated and FTAM-Initiated service
sets.

Figure 3 - Gateway Protocol Stack
A fundamental aspect of this gateway architecture is that data is
mapped and transmitted immediately; i.e., no transferred file need
ever reside on the gateway file system. In the context of this
document, the term "filesystem" refers to the file access and
maintenance mechanisms provided by the operating system. This lack
of gateway filesystem interaction helps speed up the end-to-end data
transfer. Another speed-enhancing feature of this architecture is
that both the FTP and FTAM network connections can operate
Mindel & Slaski [Page 7]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
simultaneously. Additional advantages include:
1. FTP and FTAM hosts require no modification to utilize gateway
services.
2. Users require no knowledge of the other protocol.
3. Gateway access control is not impaired (since users cannot
directly access the gateway filesystem).
4. No additional filesystem space is required on the gateway.
5. Interactive nature of protocols is preserved.
6. Users become aware of fatal errors immediately.
Disadvantages of this design include the initial coding effort
required to develop the gateway and the subsequent re-coding efforts
required to keep it current.
3. Network Naming and Addressing
The network naming and addressing schemes used by FTP (Domain Names
(DN), IP Addresses) and FTAM (Distinguished Names, Presentation
Addresses) are quite different. This issue is quite apparent when a
user of one protocol needs to identify a destination host of the
other protocol.
In the TCP/IP naming and addressing scheme, the identity of the FTP
Server is its DN and its IP address [RFC1101]. To initiate a
connection to an FTP Server, the FTP Client looks up a DN in either
the Domain Name System (DNS) or static host table and obtains an IP
address.
In the OSI naming and addressing scheme, the identity of the FTAM
Responder service is its Distinguished Name in the OSI Directory
(X.500 or static table) and its Presentation address. The
Distinguished Name is an authoritative description of the service. A
Presentation address consists of a Presentation selector, a session
selector, a transport selector, and a network address. To initiate a
connection to an FTAM Responder, the FTAM Initiator contacts the OSI
Directory, presents the Distinguished Name of the desired FTAM
Responder and asks for the Presentation address attribute associated
with that name.
An alternative to the direct use of Distinguished Names is to use
"User Friendly Naming", as defined in [Kille92]. Gateway support for
"User Friendly Naming" is recommended, but not required.
Mindel & Slaski [Page 8]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
4. Use of the Gateway Services
4.1. FTP-Initiated Gateway Service
The FTP Client uses the FTP-Initiated gateway service to utilize the
resources of an FTAM Responder.
To initiate a file transfer from an FTP Client, the Client connects
to the FTP-Initiated gateway service via TCP/IP. The gateway then
establishes a connection, via OSI, to the FTAM Responder. At this
point, the user can initiate file transfer operations.
The FTP Client is responsible for providing the gateway with an
authoritative Distinguished Name, or a User Friendly Name, of the
desired OSI filestore. It is the responsibility of the gateway to
resolve this Distinguished Name, or User Friendly Name, to its
corresponding Presentation address.
The logon sequence taken by an FTP Client when initiating a file
transfer with an FTAM Responder is given below:
% ftp gateway
ftp> site Distinguished-Name-of-FTAM Responder
ftp> user username
ftp> pass password
The "ftp gateway" command initiates the connection between the FTP
Client and the gateway. Once connected to the gateway, the FTP
Client should identify the desired FTAM Responder service via the
Responder's Distinguished Name, or User Friendly Name, which is
resolved by an algorithm running on the Directory Services provider.
This information is sent via a "site Distinguished-Name-of-FTAM
Responder" or "site UFN-of-FTAM Responder" command.
Upon receipt of a Distinguished Name or a User Friendly Name, it is
the gateway's responsibility to resolve it to the Presentation
Address associated with that name. This resolution is done by
contacting the OSI Directory (X.500 or local static table) and
presenting the Distinguished Name or User Friendly Name. Once the
Presentation address is obtained, the gateway can attempt a
connection with the ultimate destination file transfer service
represented by this Presentation address.
The userid is passed via the "user username" command, and the
password is passed via the "pass password". If the FTAM Responder
requires a password, a password prompt should appear after issuing
the "user username" command. It is anticipated that stronger
authentication mechanisms will be required for DoD gateways in the
Mindel & Slaski [Page 9]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
future.
Using a specific example, suppose an FTAM Responder has the following
Distinguished Name:
CountryName = "US"
Organization = "Open Networks"
OrganizationalUnit = "Network Services"
CommonName = "netwrx1"
CommonName = "FTAM service"
and the FTP-FTAM gateway is available at "washdc1-osigw.navy.mil".
The FTP user action will appear as:
% ftp washdc1-osigw.navy.mil
ftp> site "c=US@o=Open Networks@ou=Network Services@cn=netwrx1
@cn=FTAM service"
ftp> user mindel
ftp> pass ***********
The "ftp washdc1-osigw.navy.mil" command initiates the connection
between the FTP Client and the FTP-FTAM gateway at the Washington
Navy Yard, Washington D.C. Once connected, the OSI filestore at Open
Networks is identified via its Distinguished Name, "@c=US@o=Open
Networks@ou=Network Services@cn=netwrx1@cn=FTAM service".
Alternatively, a User Friendly Name, such as:
"netwrx1, Open Networks, us"
can be specified, enabling the following FTP user action:
% ftp washdc1-osigw.navy.mil
ftp> site "netwrx1, Open Networks, us"
ftp> user mindel
ftp> pass ***********
As this example indicates, use of an intermediate gateway is not
transparent. To partially alleviate this awkwardness, the gateway
can be made more transparent through the registration of the FTAM
host in the DNS using the address of the gateway [RFC1279].
An example will clarify this point. Suppose that the "netwrx1, Open
Networks, us" FTAM host is registered in the TCP/IP DNS with the DN
of "ftam-service.netwrx1.com" and the IP address of the "washdc1-
osigw.navy.mil" gateway. In this example, the following set of user
actions is required:
Mindel & Slaski [Page 10]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
% ftp ftam-service.netwrx1.com
ftp> user mindel
ftp> pass ***********
Since the "ftam-service.netwrx1.com" really points to the gateway
address, the first command will connect the FTP Client to the
gateway. The gateway will then use the name (using [RFC1279]) to
determine where the actual FTAM host is resident. Gateway support
for RFC1279 is recommended, but not required.
4.2. FTAM-Initiated Gateway Service
The FTAM Initiator uses the FTAM-Initiated gateway service to utilize
the resources of an FTP Server.
To initiate a file transfer from an FTAM Initiator, the Initiator
connects to the FTAM-Initiated gateway service via OSI. The gateway
then establishes a connection, via TCP/IP, to the FTP Server. At
this point, the user can initiate file transfer operations.
The FTAM Initiator is responsible for providing the gateway with an
authoritative DN of the desired TCP/IP filestore. It is the
responsibility of the gateway to resolve this DN to its corresponding
IP address.
The logon sequence taken by an FTAM Initiator when initiating a file
transfer with an FTP Server is given below:
% ftam gateway
ftam> user username@DNS-string
ftam> pass password
The "ftam gateway" command initiates the connection between the FTAM
Initiator and the gateway. Once connected, userid and TCP/IP
filestore are identified in the "username@DNS-string" argument to the
user command. If the FTP Server requires a password, a password
prompt should appear after issuing the user command.
The gateway should incorporate the BIND Resolver functionality so
that upon receipt of a Domain Name, the Gateway FTP Client can
resolve it via the distributed Domain Name System.
Using a specific example, suppose that a FTP Server has the following
Domain Name: "ftp-service.netwrx1.com" and an FTP-FTAM gateway is
available at:
Mindel & Slaski [Page 11]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
CountryName = "US"
Organization = "GOV"
OrganizationalUnit = "DOD"
OrganizationalUnit = "DISA"
Locality = "Washington Navy Yard"
CommonName = "wnyosi7"
The FTAM user action will appear as:
% ftam @c=US@o=GOV@ou=DOD@ou=DISA@l=Washington Navy Yard
@cn=wnyosi7
ftam> user mindel@ftp-service.netwrx1.com
ftam> pass ***********
Alternatively, a User Friendly Name could be used rather than the
Distinguished Name.
As mentioned in the previous section, "Use of the FTP-Initiated
Gateway Service", use of an intermediate gateway is not transparent.
The gateway can be made more transparent through the registration of
the FTP host in the X.500 OSI Directory. By querying the X.500 OSI
Directory, the gateway can identify where the actual host is
resident.
For example, suppose that the FTP Server in the previous example
("ftp-service.netwrx1.com") is registered in the X.500 Directory with
the following Distinguished Name:
CountryName = "US"
Organization = "Open Networks"
OrganizationalUnit = "Network Services"
CommonName = "netwrx1"
CommonName = "FTP service"
and the Presentation Address of the FTP-FTAM gateway. This approach,
described in [RFC1279], would permit the following user interactions:
% ftam @c=US@o=Open Networks@ou=Network Services
@cn=netwrx1@cn=FTP Service"
ftam> user mindel
ftam> pass ***********
4.3. Summary of Usage
As shown in the discussions of the FTP-Initiated and FTAM-Initiated
Gateway Services, the gateway user does not have access to the
gateway filesystem; he merely makes use of the gateway logon
procedure to specify the ultimate destination userid and password.
Mindel & Slaski [Page 12]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
Two methods of interaction with the gateway were described. In the
former, the user must:
1. Be aware that a gateway is required to reach the
destination FTP or FTAM host.
2. Determine which gateway is most appropriate for their
respective source-destination pair.
3. Explicitly connect to the gateway host prior to connecting
to the destination host.
Needless to say, the exchange of files between FTP and FTAM hosts
requires more effort than that required for the exchange of files
between a pair of hosts utilizing the same file transfer protocol.
The latter, more transparent method does not necessarily require that
the user determine which gateway is most appropriate for their
respective source-destination pair. In fact, filestore service
providers are registered using the address of a predetermined
gateway. With this approach, the user:
1. Must be aware that a gateway is required to reach the
destination FTP or FTAM host.
2. Need not determine which gateway is most appropriate to
access their ultimate destination host.
3. Need not explicitly connect to the gateway prior to
connecting to the destination FTP or FTAM host.
5. Gateway State Variables and Transitions
As described, the FTP-FTAM gateway provides two sets of services:
FTP-Initiated and FTAM-Initiated. Each service has its own mutually
exclusive set of state variables and transitions that
deterministically define the actions of the gateway. Gateway support
for these state variables and transitions is required.
For conciseness in this discussion, FTP-Initiated will be abbreviated
with "FTP-I", and FTAM-Initiated will be abbreviated with "FTAM-I".
Concerning error conditions, if a connection is dropped when the
gateway is in any state other than FTP-I:Initial-State or FTAM-
I:Initial-State, then the gateway will issue a fatal error message to
the host with the remaining connection, and then drop that
connection. If the remaining host is an FTP Client, then the gateway
will send an ABOR, QUIT, and 426 reply code (Connection closed,
Mindel & Slaski [Page 13]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
transfer aborted). If it is an FTAM Initiator, then the gateway will
send an F-P-ABORT with a <Diagnostic> value with identifier 1011
(Lower layer failure), as well as any known <Further Details>.
Other error conditions are not addressed in this discussion.

6. Document Type Support
The set of FTAM document types supported by the FTP-FTAM gateway is a
subset of the document types identified in the Stable Implementation
Agreements for Open Systems Interconnection Protocols: Part 9 - FTAM
Phase 2, produced by the March 1992 Open Systems Environment
Implementors' Workshop [NIST92]. This subset was chosen for its
equivalence to those document types supported by FTP. The set
includes:
FTAM-1 "ISO FTAM Unstructured text file
FTAM-3 "ISO FTAM Unstructured binary file
NBS-9 "NBS-9 FTAM File directory file"
FTAM document types map to FTP document types as follows:
FTAM <-> FTP
----------------------------------
FTAM-1 <-> ASCII
FTAM-3 <-> 8 bit binary
NBS-9 <-> Directory
Gateway support for FTAM-1 and FTAM-2 is required, whereas support
for NBS-9 is recommended.
6.1. Notes on NBS-9
NBS-9 is optional in GOSIP versions 1 and 2 [NIST91]. NBS-9 will be
superseded by its replacement when ISO/IEC ISP 10607-2 and ISO/IEC
ISP 10607-2/Amendment 1 are published [NIST92].
For conformance to NBS-9, an FTAM Responder is only required to
return the <Filename> file attribute, subject to local security and
access control. All other requested attributes need not be returned.
Systems supporting the NBS-9 document type shall make available an
NBS-9 document called 'DIRLIS'. This document can be used to obtain
a listing of files and their associated attributes from a remote
Filestore.

7. Functional Comparison of FTP and FTAM
A comprehensive comparison of the services offered by FTP and FTAM is
beyond the scope of this specification. What follows is an analysis
of several key points. Refer to [NIST 86a] and [ROSE90] for a more
complete discourse on this topic.
FTAM is not a superset of FTP; each protocol has functions that only
it performs. The set of FTAM functions is, however, larger than the
set of FTP functions.
FTP combines file management and file transfer into one protocol
engine, whereas FTAM separates management and transfer as they relate
to files.
The file transfer services of both FTP and FTAM expect a reliable
underlying end-to-end service. At a minimum, this service includes
the capability to transfer entire files between remote hosts and to
display remote filenames.
In addition to this basic file transfer service, FTAM supports the
capability to: access a few records from a file server, create a
network file system (similar to Sun's Network File System), handle
printing and spooling, and access remote database records. FTP does
not support these additional capabilities.
FTP uses TELNET services to set up a connection between the FTP
Client and FTP Server. A three-digit reply code followed by
explanatory text indicates the status of the preceding request and
provides diagnostic information explaining each transaction.
FTAM relies on the Association Control Service Element (ACSE) to
start and stop the network for network file interaction. Generally,
the ASCE establishes the application association and related
application context needed to support the FTAM protocol.
The FTAM protocol is modularized so as to keep the allowable number
of actions in any particular state relatively small. There are many
more possible sequences of FTP operations than possible sequences of
FTAM operations [NIST86].
Because FTAM is more robust than FTP, FTAM allows greater flexibility
for conveying information about files. FTAM deals only with aspects
of application processes, and leaves data representation and data
management facilities to other OSI service elements.
In contrast to the Client/Server model present in the FTP scheme,
FTAM is based on the Initiator/Responder model. The key distinction
Mindel & Slaski [Page 19]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
is that once the FTAM Initiator has established a connection with a
remote host, either the Initiator or Responder can request services
of the other. In the FTP realm, the Client both initiates a
connection and requests all services.
The FTP Client knows the real properties of the remote host
filesystem. FTAM, in contrast, embraces a conceptual model of a
filesystem, labeled a virtual filestore model. The virtual filestore
is a collection of files, each of which has a name that uniquely
identifies it. Each file has a set of attributes, such as ownership
information and contents, which is the data associated with the file.
One file attribute is the <Contents Type> of the file, typically of
value "FTAM-1", "FTAM-3", or "NBS-9". The FTAM Initiator only knows
the properties of the corresponding Responder and virtual filestore,
not the real properties of the filesystem on the remote host.
7.1. Loss of Functionality
As happens whenever two dissimilar protocols, or languages for that
matter, are translated, some loss of functionality is inevitable.
With reference to the FTP-FTAM gateway, several of the most blatant
losses of functionality are:
1. Diagnostics passed between protocols may not be precisely
translated.
2. The FTAM partial file (record) transfer may not be
supported.
3. Some FTAM attributes are not supported by FTP.
The primary goal of the gateway protocol mappings are to minimize
this loss of functionality. As this gateway specification and
subsequent implementations evolve, means to partially overcome loss
of functionality may become more obvious. For example, the gateway
may be able to emulate file record transfers between FTAM Initiators
and FTP Servers.
8. Mapping of Protocol Functions and Representations
The mappings presented are based upon the FTAM protocol
implementation as defined in Stable Implementation Agreements for
Open Systems Interconnection Protocols: Part 9 - FTAM Phase 2,
produced by the March 1992 Open Systems Environment Implementors'
Workshop [NIST92], and in [ISO8571-1], [ISO8571-2],[ISO8571-
3],[ISO8571-4], and [ISO8571-5]. The FTP protocol as defined in
Request for Comments [RFC959]. The mappings are strongly influenced
by the work of M. A. Wallace et. al. at NIST [NIST86] and John Scott
Mindel & Slaski [Page 20]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
at MITRE [MITRE87].
A key goal of the mappings presented in this document is to minimize
the loss of functionality between the two protocols. The specific
approach taken to implement the mappings is left to the discretion of
the gateway implementor. The focus of the protocol function and
representation mappings is on non-error encumbered processing. The
mapping of diagnostic and error messages is treated separately in
section 9.
At a minimum, the FTAM implementation in the FTP-FTAM gateway support
for Implementation Profiles T1 (Simple File Transfer) and M1
(Management), as defined in [NIST92], is required. These
Implementation Profiles correspond to the A/111 and A/13 Profiles of
Standards Promotion and Application Group in Europe, respectively
[NIST92].
At a minimum, the gateway support for the following is required:
ASCII and 8 bit binary file types. It should also support FTP
File Stream Mode.
The following FTAM document types: FTAM-1 (unstructured text
file), FTAM-3 (unstructured binary file), and NBS-9 (set of
directory entries).
POSIX file naming and organization conventions are assumed in these
mappings; i.e., files in the systems are assumed to be organized in a
hierarchical structure in which all of the non-terminal nodes are
directories and all of the terminal nodes are any other type of file.
The following terminology is used in the mapping specifications:
argument .......FTP Service Command argument, as used in [RFC959].
parameter ......FTAM Service Primitive parameters and attributes,
as enumerated in Tables 6, 50, and 51 of [ISO8571-
3].
The following notation is used in the mapping specifications:
Arguments and parameters are enclosed in angle brackets; e.g.,
<Action Result>
Values of arguments and parameters are enclosed in quotation
marks; e.g., "Success"
Mindel & Slaski [Page 21]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
FTP Service Commands and FTAM Primitives are in uppercase; e.g., F-
INITIALIZE
8.1. FTP-Initiated Gateway Service
The protocol mapping between FTP and FTAM may be one-to-zero (i.e.,
not mappable), one-to-one, or one-to-many.
The general steps taken by the FTP-FTAM gateway to provide the FTP-
Initiated service are:
1. Accept an FTP Client request at the FTP Server side of the
gateway service.
2. Map the request to the (set of) corresponding FTAM
Initiator function(s).
3. Acting as an FTAM Initiator, send the FTAM Initiator
function(s) to the FTAM Responder.
4. Accept information returned to the FTAM Initiator side of
the gateway. This information originated at the FTAM
Responder.
5. Map this returned information to the protocol form
understood by the FTP Server side of the gateway.
6. Send this returned information from the FTP Server side of
the gateway to the FTP Client.
For each FTP protocol function, the FTAM protocol functions required
to map it are identified:

8.2. FTAM-Initiated Gateway Service
The protocol mapping between FTP and FTAM may be one-to-zero (i.e.,
not mappable), one-to-one, or one-to-many.
The general steps taken by the FTP-FTAM gateway to provide the FTAM-
Initiated service are:
1. Accept an FTAM Initiator request at the FTAM Responder side
of the gateway.
2. Map the request to the (set of) corresponding FTP Client
Mindel & Slaski [Page 38]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
function(s).
3. Acting as an FTP Client, send the FTP Client function(s) to
the FTP Server.
4. Accept information returned to the FTP Client side of the
gateway. This information originated at the FTP Server.
5. Map this returned information to a form understood by the
FTAM Responder side of the gateway.
6. Send this returned information from the FTAM Responder side
of the gateway to the FTAM Initiator.
For each FTAM protocol function, the FTP protocol functions required
to map it are identified:
FTAM FTP

9. Mapping between FTP Reply Codes and FTAM Parameters
The focus of the protocol function and representation mappings,
presented in the previous sections, is on non-error encumbered
processing. Though appropriate responses are designated in many
cases, it is intended that a more thorough use of responses will be
incorporated into gateway implementations.
The purpose of this section is to provide a set of mappings between
FTAM responses (<Action Result> and <Diagnostic>) and FTP responses
(reply codes).
Mindel & Slaski [Page 47]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
The <Action Result> parameter of the FTAM File Service primitives
conveys information which summarizes that available in the
<Diagnostic> parameter. The value is never less than the most severe
diagnostic value. The valid values of this parameter are "Success",
"Transient Error", and "Permanent Error". The FTP response text
should be supplied in the <Further Details> field of the
<Diagnostics> sequence in the FTAM response and abort messages.
An FTAM <Action Result> "Success" may be accompanied by a
<Diagnostic> with value of "Informative Error Type". These "Success"
diagnostic messages are associated with error type 0 in the table
below (and in [ISO8571-3]). Error type 1 indicates a transient
error, while type 2 indicates a permanent error.
An FTP reply consists of a three digit number followed by some text.
The number is defined as a 3-digit code, each digit of which has a
special significance. The first digit conveys approximately the same
information as the FTAM <Action Result> parameter; i.e., positive,
transient negative, or permanent negative.
The FTP specification document [RFC959] explicitly states that the
list of reply codes should not be expanded beyond that which is
presented in [RFC959]. This requirement is adhered to in the
mappings presented in this document.
9.1. FTP Reply Codes to FTAM Parameters
This section presents the set of mappings between FTP reply codes and
their equivalent FTAM action and diagnostic parameters. Gateway
support for these mappings is recommended, but not required. The
following abbreviations are used for FTAM action parameter values:
trans = transient error
perman = permanent error

9.2. FTAM Parameters to FTP Reply Codes
This section presents the set of mappings between FTAM diagnostic
parameters and their equivalent FTP reply codes. Gateway support for
these mappings is recommended, but not required. As previously
mentioned, type 0 is an informative error type that may be returned
with a "Success" action result, type 1 is a transient error type, and
type 2 is a permanent error type.

9.3. Future Mapping Problem
At some point in the future, the FTAM <Responding Presentation
Address> parameter may be used for purposes other than the current
use of passing the final destination address in the FTAM-Initiated
gateway service [NIST86]. If this happens, the destination address
will have to be passed in another location, such as in the "@host"
portion of the <Initiator Identity>. Currently, the FTP-FTAM gateway
specification permits either mechanism for storage of the ultimate
destination address.
9.4. Error Handling
The minimal acceptable solution for FTAM-Initiated service errors is
to map FTP failures to FTAM "Unrecoverable error" and return the FTP
diagnostic string in the FTAM <Further Details> field. Similarly for
FTP-Initiated service errors, the minimal acceptable solution is to
return reply code 221, "Service closing control connection, Logged
out if appropriate". While this minimal solution is acceptable, the
recommended approach for Gateway developers is to implement the
mappings presented in Section 9.1, FTP Reply Codes to FTAM
Parameters, and Section 9.2, FTAM Parameters to FTP Reply Codes.
10. Implementation and Configuration Guidelines
The intent of this specification is to specify the required
characteristics and functions of an FTP-FTAM gateway. The specific
approach taken to realize these specifications in an operational
gateway are left to the discretion of the implementor. We do take
the liberty, however, of suggesting several ideas concerning the
configuration and implementation of such gateways.
10.1. Robustness
The gateway should be robust enough to handle situations where a
subset of the FTP and/or FTAM protocols are implemented on a host.
The gateway should support multiple concurrent FTP and FTAM
connections.
Mindel & Slaski [Page 54]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
These are requirements for gateway implementations.
10.2. Well-Known TCP/IP Port
It is recommended that the FTP-Initiated gateway process listen on
TCP/IP port 21, the well-known port for FTP listener processes. As
the gateway computer is primarily intended to provide gateway
services, use of this port will alleviate the need for gateway users
to specify the desired port when they connect to the gateway. The
standard FTP server listener process can then be moved to another
port that is known to those users (e.g., System Administrators)
requiring FTP-to-FTP access to the gateway computer.
10.3. Gateway Listener Processes
To simplify the administrative overhead on the gateway computer
system, it is recommended that the FTP-Initiated service and FTAM-
Initiated gateway listener processes be merged into a single
executable module. This single daemon will act as the one and only
gateway listener processes. As connections were established with
hosts, other processes would be created.
10.4. Implementation Testing
To assist in the development and evaluation of FTP-FTAM gateway
prototypes, NIST has developed a test system to evaluate a gateway's
conformance to the protocol standards [NIST88].
10.5. POSIX File Naming and Organization
The OSI profiles do not define a standard manner for an FTAM
Responder to return file names.
To avoid unnecessary complexity, proprietary file systems are not
addressed in these mappings. Gateway support for POSIX file naming
and organization conventions is required; i.e., files are assumed to
be organized in a hierarchical structure in which all of the non-
terminal nodes are directories and all of the terminal nodes are any
other type of file.
11. Security Considerations
The gateway system may place the burden of authentication on the
destination system. However, the gateway must accommodate the
passing through of all authentication parameters. The authentication
parameters of each protocol are applied at the destination and no
additional parameters are needed for authentication at the gateway.
As such, no gateway password file is required to support gateway
Mindel & Slaski [Page 55]
RFC 1415 FTP-FTAM Gateway Specification January 1993
functions.
It is anticipated that the requirement for a strong authentication
mechanism will soon replace the most currently used, userid and
password mechanism. The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) has
already prototyped and has plans field a Message Secure Protocol
(MSP) as part of the Defense Message System (DMS) Program which will
soon become the Department of Defense (DoD) mandatory messaging
system. MSP utilizes a public key encryption-like mechanism which
will be used to authenticate users and allow signed operations. The
current philosophy is to use this same mechanism for all
authentication and access control situations, such as logging onto
remote hosts or gateways. Detailed specifications for Pre-MSP, used
in the unclassified though sensitive arena, are scheduled to be
published in the first quarter of 1993. The requirement for gateways
to process PMSP and MSP strong authentication mechanisms will be part
of all future DoD procurements.
