FTAM, an ISO 8571 standard, is an OSIApplication layer protocol for File Transfer Access and Management. ISO has many meanings: Iso is the stem of the Latin transliteration of the Greek word ίσος (Ãsos, meaning equal). The iso- prefix in English derives from this and means equality or similarity. ... Starting in 1982, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) along with the ITU-T initiated a new effort in networking called Open Systems Interconnect or OSI. Prior to OSI, networking was completely vendor-developed and proprietary, with standards such as SNA, Decnet, and XNS. OSI was a new industry effort... The application layer is the seventh level of the seven-layer OSI model. ...
FTAM attempted to combine into a single protocol both file transfer, similar in concept to the Internet FTP, as well as remote access to open files, similar to NFS. RFC1415 provides an FTP-FTAM gateway specification. The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is a software standard for transferring computer files between machines with widely different operating systems. ... Network File System (NFS) is a protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984 and defined in RFCs 1094, 1813, (3010) and 3530, as a distributed file system which allows a computer to access files over a network as easily as if they were on its local disks. ... A Request for Comments (RFC) document is one of a series of numbered Internet informational documents and standards very widely followed by both commercial software and freeware in the Internet and Unix communities. ...
FTAM has not seen wide adoption on the Internet, and attempts to define a Internet-scale file transfer protocol have instead focussed on Server message block, NFS or Andrew file system as models. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...

The Andrew file system (AFS) is a distributed networked file system developed by Carnegie Mellon University under the direction of Mahadev Satyanarayanan as part of their Andrew Project. ...
