The OFTP Commands
To control the communication of data, OFTP provides a set of
signals which indicate when a message can be sent to the receiving
system. These signals are called the OFTP
commands. Each command serves a different function, not all of which
will be used in every transmission – the signals used will be dictated
by the nature of the communication session itself.
Files supported by the OFTP OFTP allows the transfer of different types of files. These include
fixed length records, variable length records, unformatted files and
text format files.
Access Methods and the OFTP OFTP supports TCP/IP, ISDN, direct native access to the X.25 network,
dial-up connections using a combination of recommendations X.28, X.3
and X.29. It provides both error detection and recovery procedures for
the latter. As well, ISDN connection to X.25 networks can be used
in accordance with recommendation X.31. OFTP is perfectly adapted to ENX extranet; certified ENX operators
offer various types of connections (isolated station with IPsec customer,
connection by STN or ISDN: up to 64 kbits, small LAN, LAN...). See

SSL/TLS Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor,
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols
that provide communications security over the Internet. Wikipedia
Strong Authentication Strong authentication is a mechanism to ensure mutual identification
of two network partners. This mechanism is based on the personal character
of the private key.
File Services Services file, defined by the protocol version 2, provide
optional services:
Encryption (file-level, complementing the SSL encryption)
Fiile ignature (including EERP and NERP)
Compression (high compression further compression OFTP V1)
