ftp(1) Kerberos ftp(1)
been successfully completed. If no argument is included, the user is prompted for an account pass-
word in a non-echoing input mode.
append local-file [remote-file]
Copy local-file to the end of remote-file.Ifremote-file is left unspecified, the local file name is used in
naming the remote file after being altered by any ntrans or nmap setting.
ascii
Set the file transfer type to network ASCII. This is the default type.
bell
Sound a bell after each file transfer completes.
binary
Set the file transfer type to binary.
bye Close the connection to the server host if a connection was open, and exit. Typing an end-of-file (EOF)
character also terminates and exits the session.
case
Toggle remote computer file name case mapping during
mget commands. When case is on (the
default is off), remote computer file names with all letters in uppercase are written in the local direc-
tory with the letters mapped to lowercase.
cd remote-directory
Set the working directory on the server host to remote-directory.
cdup
Set the working directory on the server host to the parent of the current remote working directory.
chmod mode file-name
Change the permission modes of the file file-name on the remote system to mode.
close
Terminate the connection to the server host. The close
command does not exit ftp. Any defined
macros are erased.
cr Toggle carriage return stripping during ascii type file retrieval. Records are denoted by a
carriage-return/line-feed sequence during
ascii type file transfer. When cr is on (the default),
carriage returns are stripped from this sequence to conform with the UNIX single line-feed record del-
imiter. Records on non-UNIX remote systems may contain single line-feeds; when an
ascii type
transfer is made, these line-feeds can be distinguished from a record delimiter only when
cr is off.
delete remote-file
Delete remote-file. The remote-file can be an empty directory. No globbing is done.
dir [remote-directory][local-file]
Write a remote-directory listing to standard output or optionally to local-file. If neither remote-
directory nor local-file is specified, list the remote working directory to standard output. If interactive
prompting is on,
ftp prompts the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the target file for
dir output. Globbing characters are always expanded.
disconnect
A synonym for close.
form format
Set the file transfer form to format. The only supported format is non-print
get
remote-file [local-file]
Copy remote-file to local-file.Iflocal-file is unspecified, ftp uses the specified remote-file name as
the local-file name, subject to alteration by the current case, ntrans, and nmap settings.
glob
Toggle file name globbing. When file name globbing is enabled, ftp expands csh(1) metacharacters
in file and directory names. These characters are *, ?, [, ], ˜, {, and }. The server host expands
remote file and directory names. Globbing metacharacters are always expanded for the ls and dir
commands. If globbing is enabled, metacharacters are also expanded for the multiple-file commands
mdelete, mdir, mget, mls, and mput.
hash
Toggle printing of a hash-sign (#) for each 1024 bytes transferred. Note that the use of this feature
