Appendix D FTPBIN Command Reference
This appendix describes the FTPBIN commands that
NCSA Telnet uses.
Command Action
? prints help information.
! escapes to a MS-DOS shell.
account allows entering of account data for hosts which
require this information to log in.
ascii sets the transfer type to ASCII--this command will
do some translation, so do not use this mode to
transfer files which are not ASCII text.
bget gets (transfers from remote machine to local PC) a
specified file in binary mode.
binary sets the transfer type to binary--this mode will do
no translation of end-of-line characters, etc., so do
not use it to transfer ASCII text files.
bput puts (transfers from local PC to remote host) a
specified file in binary mode.
bye closes any open session and quits FTPBIN.
close closes any open session, but does not exit FTPBIN.
delete deletes a file on the remote machine. Prompts for
confirmation if prompting is on.
debug sets the level of debugging (default 0). This
is mainly for developmental purposes, and
should not be necessary for normal use.
dir gives a directory listing of the remote directory.
get gets (transfers form remote host to local PC) a
single specified file.
glob toggles expansion of wildcard characters in local
filenames.
hash toggles hashing mode. If hashing mode is on,
every time a full buffer (usually 1024 bytes-1K
bytes) is transferred, a "#" symbol will be printed.
help performs the same function as the "?" command.
interactive puts FTPBIN into interactive mode--i.e. turns
prompting on.
lls gives a listing of the local directory.
ls gives a listing of the remote directory (same as
dir).
mdelete sets multiple deletion of remote files.
mdir lists of multiple remote directories (i.e. runs "ls" on
more than one remote directory).
mget gets (transfers from remote host to local PC)
multiple files. For example, "mget*" will copy all
files in the current remote directory to the current
local directory.
mkdir makes a directory on the remote host's drive.
mls lists the contents of multiple remote directories.
mode sets file transfer mode. Currently, only stream
mode is supported, so this command does not
function.
more toggles (or expressly turns "on" or "off", if "on"
or "off" is specified after the more command) the
"more" paging of directories. That is, if "more" is
turned on, you will see listed directories a page at a
time, instead of all of the data being scrolled
through without stopping.
mput puts (transfers from local PC to remote host)
multiple files. For example, "mput*" will transfer
all files in the current local directory to the current
remote directory.
noninteractive puts FTPBIN into non-interactive mode--i.e. turns
prompting off.
open opens a connection to the specified host.
prompt toggles the current prompting mode--if prompting
is on, it is turned off, and if it is off, it is turned on.
Prompting means that FTPBIN will prompt you
or every file if you request a multiple file transfer,
deletion, or directory.
put puts (transfers from local PC to remote host) a
single specified file.
pwd displays the current directory on the remote
machine.
quit closes any open session and quits FTPBIN. (same
as the command "bye").
quote sends an arbitrary FTP command.
recv receives a file.
remotehelp queries the remote host for help information.
rename renames a file on the remote host.
rm deletes a file on the remote host.
rmdir deletes a directory on the remote host.
send performs same functions as the "put" command--
transfers a file from the local PC to the remote
host.
sendport toggles the use of the FTP PORT command for
each data connection/transfer.
site supports the SITE command for hosts that require
SITE information.
slashflip toggles changing of "\" on outgoing commands.
status displays the current status of FTPBIN--i.e.
if connected (and to where), current transfer
mode, debugging level, prompting mode,
slashflipping, verbosity, more mode-basically, the
status of anything that can be changed in an
FTPBIN session.
struct sets the file transfer structure. Currently only file
structure is supported.
type sets transfer type. See "binary" and "ascii"
commands.
user prompts for user information (i.e. login ID and
password)-this command is useful if your first
login attempt fails. Type user and retype your
login information.
verbose toggles verbose mode (i.e. sets the amount of
information you will receive on your display).
