Transfer Files from MPE XL to the Remote Host
Use
the PUT command to copy a file on your system to the remote host. FTP
does not delete the local copy of the file. The file is saved in the
remote working directory.
ftp> PUT localfile remotefile
The remotefile named must follow the file naming conventions for the
remote system. If you omit the remotefile name, the file will be saved
with the localfile specified:
ftp> PUT localfile
If the localfile is not a valid file name on the remote system, the file
transfer fails.
CAUTION If the remote file name you specify already exists on the remote
host, the remote system may overwrite the existing remote file
without warning.
File Naming
Note that other systems may support upper and lower case file names. For
example, if you entered the following commands and file names when
connected to a UNIX system, the result would be two new remote files
named RFILE and rfile.
ftp> PUT RFILE
ftp> PUT rfile
On MPE XL, RFILE or rfile is the same file name.
Transfer Files to a Different Directory
To transfer a file to other than the remote working directory, you can
change directories using the CD command, or you can specify the
directory name with the remotefile specified as in the following example
(to a UNIX file system):
ftp> PUT myfile testdir/myremfile
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for testdir/myremfile
226 Transfer complete.

Transfer Files from Other Groups
From within FTP, you cannot change groups. To transfer files from other
groups you can exit from FTP, and re-log on into the other group, or
specify the group name as part of the localfile parameter. For example,
you could transfer a file named NSPROG1 from GROUP1 to a remote file
named nsprog as follows:
ftp> PUT NSPROG1.GROUP1 nsprog
If the remotefile is not specified in this example, the remote file name
would be:
NSPROG1.GROUP1
Transfer Multiple Files
To transfer a group of files to the remote system, use the FTP MPUT
command.
For example, transfer all files in your account, beginning with the
letter "C" to the remote host. First verify that the files are all of
one type (ASCII or binary) using the MPE XL LISTF command:
ftp> :LISTF C@,2
ACCOUNT = PUB GROUP = MYGROUP
FILENAME CODE ---------------LOGICAL RECORD--------
SIZE TYP EOF LIMIT
CAT1 80B FA 850 10000
CAT2 80B FA 800 10000
CAT3 80B FA 900 10000
CAT4 80B FA 700 10000
Transfer this group of ASCII files to the remote system:
ftp> ASCII
200 Type set to A.
ftp> MPUT C@
mput CAT1? Y
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for CAT1 (15.13.132.120,63014).
226 Transfer complete.
nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds: (n.nn Kbytes/second)
mput CAT2? Y
You are prompted whether or not (yes or no) to transfer each file in the
selected group of files.
Pressing Enter at the prompt defaults to yes.
To verify the files transferred:
ftp> LS C@
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls -1 (192.50.42.32,50895) (0 bytes). total nn
CAT1
CAT2
CAT3
CAT4
226 Transfer complete nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
Prompting.
To transfer this group of files without prompting enabled, use the PROMPT
command which turns interactive prompting on and off:
ftp> PROMPT
Interactive mode off. (FTPINFO 42)
Using CASE.
MPE XL only supports uppercase file names. You can use the CASE command
to force a group of files transferred with MPUT to lower case as follows:
ftp>CASE
Lower case on. (FTPINFO 43)
ftp> MPUT C@
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for cat1 (15.13.132.120,63018).
226 Transfer complete. nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds: (n.nn Kbytes/second)
The sequence of commands are repeated for each file transferred.
Check that the files transferred correctly:
ftp> LS c@
200 PORT command okay.
150 Opening data connection for /bin/ls -1 (15.50.42.32,50895) (0 bytes). total nn

226 Transfer complete nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds (n.nn Kbytes/sec)
