BS 7090-4:1989, titled "Open Systems Interconnection: File Transfer, Access and Management – File Protocol Specification," is part of a series of standards that define the File Transfer, Access, and Management (FTAM) protocol within the OSI framework. FTAM is an OSI application layer protocol that standardizes file access and management in distributed network systems.
Specifically, BS 7090-4:1989 provides the detailed specifications for the file protocol, outlining how file operations should be performed over a network to ensure interoperability between different systems. This includes defining the structure and attributes of files, the operations that can be performed on them, and the mechanisms for transferring files between systems. It is closely related to other parts of the BS 7090 series, such as BS 7090-2:1989, which defines the virtual filestore model used in FTAM.
