Description-en: CERNLIB data analysis suite - file transfer program
CERNLIB is a suite of data analysis tools and libraries created for
use in physics experiments, but also with applications to other
fields such as the biological sciences.
.
ZFTP is a macro-extensible file transfer program which supports the
transfer of formatted, unformatted and ZEBRA RZ files (CMZ, HBOOK, etc.).
It provides a common interface on all systems and avoids the problems of
file format conversion that occur when transferring CERNLIB files
between different architectures.
.
Except for the special treatment of CERNLIB files and use of a different port,
zftp is very similar to an FTP client. Unless you are already familiar with
this program, it will almost certainly be useless to you.
