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:
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 uppercase and lowercase
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.
On MPE/iX, RFILE or rfile
is the same file name.
Transferring 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.
nnn bytes sent in n.nn seconds: (n.nn Kbytes/sec) |
Transferring Files from Other Groups |
|
The lcd command will change directories
and consequently the group. 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:
Transferring 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/iX LISTF command:
ACCOUNT = PUB GROUP = MYGROUP] |
FILENAME CODE -----------LOGICAL RECORD----------- |
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/sec)
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 (123.50.42.32,50895) (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) |
