Hi Folks,

I think this is very simple...

I am able to connect to the http server that stores my web site, using the Unix ftp command.

But there is one simple problem:

my local folder where I store my files is at:

~/sites/

And, everytime I type on the ftp prompt:

get nameOfFile.html

The file is downloaded to:

~/nameOfFile.html

instead of

~/sites/nameOfFile.html

Question:

Is there a command I can use to specify the correct destination?

Thank you for your kind attention.

You can do "cd ~/Sites" before starting ftp. When you get a file, it is stored into the local working directory.

Or, once you're in ftp, you can do "lcd ~/Sites" to set the local working directory.

I have been trying to work this out for weeks, and the answer is so simple.

Thank you Steve.
