ntrans [inchars [outchars]]

Set or unset the filename character translation mechanism. If no arguments are specified, the filename character trans- lation mechanism is unset. If arguments are specified, char- acters in remote filenames are translated during mput com- mands and put commands issued without a specified remote tar- get filename. If arguments are specified, characters in lo- cal filenames are translated during mget commands and get commands issued without a specified local target filename. This command is useful when connecting to a non-UNIX remote computer with different file naming conventions or practices. Characters in a filename matching a character in inchars are replaced with the corresponding character in outchars. If the character's position in inchars is longer than the length of outchars, the character is deleted from the file name.
