mput and mget commands are FTP commands that may not be familiar to some FTP users, but they can be used in a command line FTP client to upload (mput) or download (mget) multiple files from an FTP server.
So instead of:
put file1.html put file2.html put file3.html
You can:
mput *
or:
mput *.html
When using mput, ftp normally asks you before transferring each file. If you're transferring lots of files, this can get very tedious, and is time consuming... to avoid this, you need to launch the command line in non-interactive mode, which you must do at the start of the FTP session, like this:
ftp -i myftp.servername.com
instead of:
ftp myftp.servername.com
Note that this works for Windows command line FTP, and for most unix flavors of ftp. |
