Put and Multiple Put (mput) Commands
Answer
Put and Multiple Put (mput) Commands
Use the put command to upload files to Sterling File Transfer Service. Use the Multiple Put (mput) command with the wildcard character (*) to upload multiple files.
Some FTP clients require you to manually acknowledge each file name when executing the mput command. This makes automating FTP scripts difficult because it requires you to be present when the script is executed. You can usually turn off this feature by sending the prompt command prior to any mput command.
Sample put Command
The following is a sample FTP session using the put command.
Client command:
put output.ediServer response:
200 PORT command successful.150 Opening data connection.226 Transfer complete. 715 bytes sent.
Sample mput Command
