Transferring files

While working on your own machine, you may decide that you want a copy of a new calendar file that exists on the remote machine seattle. If you simply want to copy a file from one machine to another, you do not need the kind of terminal session that telnet provides; instead, you can use ftp(TC), a file transfer program.

Give the ftp command with the name of the other machine:

ftp seattle

ftp connects to the other machine and prompts for a user name. If you want to log in with the default user name shown in parentheses within the prompt, simply press <Return>; otherwise, enter a user name on the remote machine. Then, enter the password for the user on the remote machine.

   Connected to seattle.

   Name (seattle:rsimpson):
   331 Password required for rsimpson.
   Password:

   ftp>

To copy the file calendar94 from the other machine to your machine, use the get command followed by the file's pathname on the remote machine and the pathname on your machine where you want ftp to place the file:

   ftp> get /usr/local/bin/calendar94 /u/rsimpson/bin/calendar94
   ftp>

The put command, which works just like get, allows you to copy a file from your machine to the remote machine. The syntax is:

put source destination

source is the pathname of the file on your machine that you want to copy; destination is the pathname on the remote machine where you want to put the file.

The ftp program has many other commands. At the ftp prompt, you can enter ``?'' to see a list of available commands (see the ftp(TC) manual page for descriptions). To end the ftp session, enter quit to disconnect from the remote machine.
