With FTP from DOS, how do I transfer
files?
Connecting to a remote host
Move to the directory on your computer that will serve as your
transfer directory (the directory to or from which you'd like to
transfer files), for example: cd \temp
Enter FTP followed by a space and the name of the remote
computer to or from which you want to transfer files, for
example: ftp ftp.trommerinc.net
If you connect to ftp.trommerinc.net or ftp.track-it-wms.net,
you will see something like this on your screen:
Connected to ftp.trommerinc.net 220 server03 Microsoft FTP
Service (Version 5.0). User (ftp.trommerinc.net:(none):
Enter the your username and password.
230-Welcome to trommerinc.net
230 User username logged in.
If you are connecting to an anonymous FTP server, for your
username, enter anonymous. For the password, use your complete
Internet e-mail address. (Anonymous Access Not Allowed with in
our FTP Site)
Commands to use once you are connected
To display the current directory on the remote host (the
computer to which you connected), at the FTP prompt enter pwd
,for example:
- ftp> pwd
- 257 "/" is current directory.
- "/" = Root Director (Read Only)
Customers and Vendors will sign onto their current Director
To see a list of files in a directory, enter ls . (Some entries
have been removed from the following directory lists for greater
clarity.):
- ftp> ls
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
- bin
- etc
- pub
- 226 Transfer complete.
- 43 bytes received in 0.05 seconds (0.86 Kbytes/sec)
To see more complete information on the files in a directory,
enter dir:
- ftp> dir
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.
- total 7
- dr-xr-xr-x 2 root users 512 May 16 1994 bin \
- dr-xr-xr-x 2 root users 512 May 17 1994 etc
- drwxrwxr-x 19 root users 512 Nov 1 12:00 pub
- 226 Transfer complete.
- 376 bytes received in 0.33 seconds (1.14 Kbytes/sec)
If necessary, move to the directory you want by using the cd
command, as you would in DOS or Unix:
- ftp> cd pub
- 250 CWD command successful.
Use cd and ls or dir to move through the directory structure to
find the files you are looking for. If you are looking for a
World Wide Web browser for Windows, you will find a directory
that looks like this:
- ftp> ls
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
- mos20b4.exe
- n16e11n.exe
- 226 Transfer complete.
- 52 bytes received in 0.00 seconds (52000.00 Kbytes/sec)
- ftp>
Transferring files
You will need to select the correct file transfer mode. ASCII
mode, used to transfer text files, is the default when FTP
starts up. If you need to transfer programs, graphics, or binary
data files, set the transfer mode to binary. To transfer a
binary file, enter binary at the prompt, for example:
- ftp> binary
- 200 Type set to I.
- ftp>
To return to ASCII mode, enter ascii at the prompt.
To transfer a file from the remote host to your computer, enter
get followed by a space and the name of the file. This "gets"
the file from the remote host:
- ftp> get n16e11n.exe
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for n16e11n.exe (1599738
bytes).
- 226 Transfer complete. 599738 bytes received in 1040.68 seconds
(1.54 Kbytes/sec)
- ftp>
To transfer a file from your computer to the remote host, enter
put followed by a space and the name of the file. This "puts"
the file on the remote host, for example:
- ftp> put weekly.txt
- 200 PORT command successful.
- 150 Opening data connection for weekly.txt (129.79.18.191,1136).
- 226 Transfer complete. 202375 bytes sent in 61.02 seconds (3.32
Kbytes/sec)
- ftp>
To end your FTP session, enter either quit or bye:
- ftp> quit
- 221 Goodbye.
C:\TEMP>
