FTAM, an ISO 8571 standard , is an OSI Application layer protocol for File Transfer Access and Management'.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.
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.
