<abstract>
<t>
   This memo describes a file transfer protocol to facilitate electronic
   data interchange between trading partners.
</t>
<t>
   The protocol, denoted the ODETTE File Transfer Protocol, supports
   both direct communication between installations and indirect
   communication via a third party clearing centre.  It was developed by
   the Organisation for Data Exchange by Tele Transmission in Europe to
   facilitate communication within the European motor industry and is
   presented here to allow for wider use within the Internet community.
