ISO 8671 standard which plays a key role in integrated message handling as the vehicle for interchanges of EDI information between applications. FTAM controls the transfer of whole files or parts of files between end systems.

The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocol for file transfer (the communication of an entire file between systems), access (remote access to one or more records in a file) and management (including the ability to create, delete and rename files). See OSI.

File Transfer, Access and Management/Manipulation. OSI-compatible protocol for distributed data management. A layer 7 Application Service Element intended to be used for creating, accessing, and moving large structured files between heterogeneous systems. The FTAM standard considers all data to have a generalized virtual filestore structure, consisting of named collections of hierarchically organized data. Included in SAA and supported in OSI/FS.
