Creation Of Format 2 Guardian Files - HP NonStop SSH 544701-014 Reference Manual

If the FC command is followed by a negative number, then the corresponding command relative to the end of the history
list is selected (-1 equates to last command, -2 equates to next-to-last command, etc.):
sftp> history
1> cd $data1.reports
2> dir
3> get file1
4> get file2
5> get file3
6> get file4
sftp> fc -3
get file2
...//
sftp>
If a string is specified, then the corresponding command is retrieved using string matching, i.e. the last command
containing the given string is retrieved and can be modified and executed.
sftp> fc rep
cd $data1.reports
...
cd $data1.report1
...
sftp> pwd
Remote working directory: /G/data1/report1
sftp>
It is possible to force string matching for a given number by enclosing the number in single or double quotes:
sftp> history
1> ls -l k*
2> get file678
3> put report89
4> cd $disk.subvol
5> cd $data1.reports
6> get fil56789
7> get fl456789
8> cd $data1.report1
9> pwd
sftp> fc "4"
get fl456789
...//
sftp>
The FC command without parameter causes the last command being retrieved for fix command processing.
A modified command is not executed (i.e. ignored) if the character sequence on the fix command line is '//' as shown
above.
The command "!<n>" to execute a command in the history list is not implemented. The following error is returned:
('!') not supported for security reasons.

Creation of Format 2 Guardian Files

Since version 0092 it is possible to create format 2 files. In pre-0092 releases data could be read from and written to
existing format 2 files but format 2 files could not be newly created during an SFTP session. Format 2 files had to be
created before an SFTP transfer could write data to them.
The indication of a format 2 file is a plus sign directly appended to the file code of the Guardian file attributes, similar to
the file code shown by FILEINFO for format files.
Examples:
sftp> get remote local,101+,28,56,128
sftp> put local remote,0+
