a test file and a binary file

[sahaguna]

I'm at a WNT station, I ftp to a server why is it that I can't put (copy) a file that I wrote in wordpad to a subdirectory in the server, do I have to conver the file to a different format, these are the steps I'm following
START--->RUN--->ftp 172.15.12.14
I enter the username
and passwd
massage show I'm logged in
cd homework (mane of my subdirectoy) where I want to copy
my file to)
bin
hash
put C:\zipcodes zipcodes

what am i doing wrong here?
also what's the difference between a test file and a binary file? thanks in advanced

What exactly is the problem?

Your command "put c:\zipcodes zipcode" will attempt to place a file called zipcodes to the homework directory.

If it's an ASCII document, you don't really need to do a binary transfer. but it shouldn't matter.

What doesn't appear to be working?

Please see my reply in your other thread. Basically, you don't need the c:\ in your put command, so it becomes:

put zipcodes zipcodes

HTH.
