HPSS user interfaces provide several different views of HPSS to applications with different needs. HPSS supports industry standard FTP, plus additional interfaces designed to optimize performance. For more information, please view the Summary of HPSS User Interfaces.

The table below summarizes the multi-platform capability of HPSS User Interface Clients that are designed to optimize performance.

Notes:

  1. The PFTP and Client API libraries and executables for platforms other than AIX, Solaris, Linux, and IRIX are not on the HPSS distribution media, but are available to HPSS customers by special arrangement at no additional fee. Contact IBM for information on how to obtain this software.
    • Maintenance of PFTP on platforms other than AIX, Solaris, or Linux is the responsibility of the customer, unless a support agreement is negotiated with IBM.
    • Maintenance of the Client API software on platforms other than AIX, Linux, or Solaris is the responsibility of the customer, unless a support agreement is negotiated with IBM.
  2. The PIO API requires the Client API.
