mput command

[adelinewss]

Hi,<br>I have a question on mput command.&nbsp;&nbsp;May I know does mput command have a function in which it will not point for answer every time it wants to put a file?&nbsp;&nbsp;Imagine I have more than 100 files that I need to press enter 100 times.&nbsp;&nbsp;Any idea?&nbsp;&nbsp;Thks.<br><br><br>Rgds,<br>Adeline

I assume you're in ftp. If so then before doing your mput use the command prompt. This will stop ftp asking you for confirmation before each file is sent.<br><br>Dave <p>Dave Hamilton<br><a href=mailto:dhamilton@gio.com.au>dhamilton@gio.com.au</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

ics007, thats true.<br><br>Just remember the <b>prompt</b> is a toggle. When you use the prompt command the first time it sets the ftp promgram to <i>non interactive mode</i>, and when you use it again it returns the ftp program to <i>interactive</i> mode.<br><br>I hope it works...

Another useful toggle I've found with command line FTP is the <b>hash</b> toggle.&nbsp;&nbsp;Type <FONT FACE=monospace>hash</font> to toggle on or off the printing of a hash mark for every 1024, 8192, or similar, bytes.&nbsp;&nbsp;Useful if you want to make sure a FTP has not stalled. <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>--<br>

[MikeLacey]

tick? what's that?

 

[shail]

ok,
if 'tick' starts a counter that keeps printing the no. of bytes xferred and (| / - \ chars successively). itworks on linux looks like not avail elsewhere.

afaik,

Hi,
To avoid answering all the times u can connect the host
like this
#
# ftp -i <host IP/ host name>

Then it will ask for login name and password.If u do ftp
now, ex 100 files are there , it will transfer silently.

regards.
