:* FTP COMMANDS :* :?:help ? [cmdname] ..................... Display detailed help for "cmdname" The "?" command (without a "cmdname") gives you a short listing of all available commands. If you give the "?" command a "cmdname", if works the same as the "help" command. :put:mput:rput:append append <localfile> [<remotefile>] Send File to Remote Computer and append :ascii:type ascii ........................... Set File Type to ASCII Using "ascii" type transfers is necessary if the two computers are running on different "types" of computer, such as a Macintosh and a MSDOS machine. The differences in how <carriage return> and <line feed> are handled on the different machines are translated automatically for you. :batch batch [<on | off>] .............. Enable/Disable Command Batching Some systems cannot handle multiple commands "batched" together and require each command to await its own response before sending the next command. This command displays/changes the current setting. :binary:type binary .......................... Set File Type to Binary Use "binary" for any binary data files (programs, ZIP files, etc.) or if the two computers are of the same "type" (both MSDOS machines, etc). :exit:quit:bye bye ............................. End the Current FTP Session :cd cd [<directory>] ................ Change Remote Directory to "directory" This command allows you to change the current directory on the remote system. If no "directory" is given, the remote system's current directory name is displayed. :cdup cdup ............................ Change Remote Directory to its parent dir This command allows you to change the current directory on the remote system to the parent of the current directory. This command keeps you from having to know any computer-specific information on how this is done. :del del <remotefile> ................ Deletes a file on the Remote Computer :dir:list:ls:nlst dir <remotefiles> [<local>] ..... Formatted Display of Files/Directories :dir:list:ls:nlst (places output into "local" file) :exit:quit:bye exit ............................ End the Current FTP Session :get:mget:resume get <remotefile> [<localfile>] .. Receive File from Remote Computer :hash:verbose hash ............................ Same as "verbose 3" :help:? help [cmdname] .................. Display detailed help for "cmdname" The "help" command (with a "cmdname") displays a short summary of the available commands. If a "cmdname" is given, all available information on the command "cmdname" will be displayed. :lcd lcd <directory> ................. Change Local Directory to "directory" This command allows you to change the current directory on the local system. If no "directory" is given, the local system's current directory name is displayed. :ldir ldir <remotefiles> .............. Formatted Display of Local Files/Dirs This command can take a parameter, the name of a file or directory to be displayed. This parameter can contain wildcard characters. :list:dir:ls:nlst list <remotefiles> [<local>] ... Same as "dir" With Unformatted Display :lmkdir lmkdir <directory> .............. Make a Directory on the Local Computer :lrename lrename <oldname> <newname> ..... Rename a file on the Local Computer :lrmdir lrmdir <directory> .............. Remove the Local Directory "directory" :list:dir:ls:nlst ls <remotefiles> [<local>] ..... Same as "dir" With Unformatted Display :lzw lzw ............................. Use LZW compression for file transfers This is a new experimental FTP command. Once it is turned on it remains on for the rest of the FTP session. The FTP control stream (where commands pass between the two computers) remains un-compressed. Any data transfers between the two systems are sent using LZW compression. :mget:get:resume mget <file> [<file> ...] ........ Same as "get" With Multiple Files :mkdir mkdir <directory> ............... Make a Directory on the Remote Computer :mput:put:rput:append mput <file> [<file> ...] ........ Same as "put" With Multiple Files :nlst:ls:list:dir nlst <remotefiles> [<local>] ... Same as "ls" The "ls" and "nlst" gives a short display, "dir" and "list" give complete displays. Each of these commands can take up to two parameters. The first is the name of a file or directory to be displayed. This parameter can contain wildcard characters. The second optional parameter is the name of a local file that the data will be placed into, instead of displaying it on your computer. If neither parameter is given, you will have the current directory at the remote computer displayed. :pass pass <password> ................. Enter Password (if typo'ed 1st time) This command is normally not used directly by the user. It is sent to the remote system with your response to the "Password" prompt. If you enter an invalid user name or password at login, you must use the "user" and "password" commands manually. :put:mput:rput:append put <localfile> [<remotefile>] .. Send File to Remote Computer :pwd pwd ............................. Print Working (current) Directory :quit:exit:bye quit ............................ End the Current FTP Session :rename rename <oldname> <newname> ...... Rename a file on the Remote Computer :resume:get:mget resume <remotefile> [<localfile>] Resume receiving a file if interrupted These commands allow you to transfer a file (or files) from the remote computer to your local computer. The commands that have an optional "remotefile" (all but "mget") will create a file on your local system with the same name as "remotefile" if the "localfile" is not given. The "mget" command allows you to receive several files with one command. Any "file" can contain wildcards. The "get" command will overwrite an existing file on the remote system. The "resume" command is used if a previous "get" command was interrupted or aborted. The local system verifies the portion it already has, and tells the sender where to continue. This is handled automatically. :rmdir rmdir <directory> ............... Remove the Remote Directory "directory" :rput:put:mput:append rput <localfile> [<remotefile>] . Resume sending a file if interrupted These commands allow you to transfer a file (or files) from your local computer to the remote computer. The commands that have an optional "remotefile" (all but "mput") will create a file on the remote with the same name as "localfile" if the "remotefile" is not given. The "mput" command allows you to send several files with one command. Any "file" can contain wildcards. The "append" command will add to the contents of the file, if it already exists on the remote system. The "put" command will overwrite an existing file on the remote system. The "rput" command is used if a previous "put" command was interrupted or aborted. The remote system verifies the portion it already has, and tells the sender where to continue. This is handled automatically. :type type <ascii | binary> ........... Set File Type to ASCII or Binary :user user <username> ................. Enter Username (if typo'ed 1st time) This command is normally not used directly by the user. It is sent to the remote system with your response to the "User Name" prompt. If you enter an invalid user name or password at login, you must use the "user" and "password" commands manually. :verbose verbose <level> ................. Set Verbose Level to "level" The verbose level lets you control how much information you receive about the different FTP commands. The default is level 4, which gives periodic reports of the size of the file transfers in number of bytes sent/received. Level three prints hash marks ("#") for every 1024 bytes sent/received.
