UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

How do I transfert data after connection to a ftp.server?

Thanks for your help.

When you say data, I suppose you want to transfer files.

After you are connected, say you want to transfer fileA from your local machine to the host machine, issue

put fileA

It will put fileA in the host machine in the directory to which you have connected.

If you have many files (say) with the .txt extension then issue

mput *.txt

Similarly, you can get the files from the host machine to your local machine by issuing get and mget in a similiar manner.

If this is not what you are looking for, tell us more.

Thanks for your answer,

Ok, I can put the command but I get a problem with the issue.

put file:Users/michaseidenberg/Desktop/MARTA1

When I give this command he answers

No such file or directory

Why is the issue false?

Sorry to give you those questions but I don't have any experience with UNIX.

This is what I can think of

1. The file does not exist. i.e. Users/michaseidenberg/Desktop/MARTA1 from the path you have started the ftp transaction.

I am sure that file must be existing in your system. The path to that file must be wrong. Either provide the right relative path or the absolute path.

As a reminder, file names are case sensitive. So be careful regarding that as well.
