ftp from nt to hp

sam kim_1 — Thu, 17 Aug 2000 13:02:23 GMT

i cant find a file (ex: today_tar) after ftp from nt to hp box. what i did was:

1)(from nt)
run > ftp
ftp> open xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
username: uuuuuu
passwrd: pppppp
ftp> put c:temptoday_tar
ftp>quit

2) (then i moved to hp box)
# ls [i cant find anything like 'today_tar']
# find . -name today* [i cant find either]

[QUESTION]
1) did i do something wrong from nt machine with ftp command ? (for example, i should indicate a destination like ftp> put sourcefilename destination)
2) or, how do i know that file has been tranferred to hp box? (in other words, how to find that file fromhp box)

pls!

It should be in the $HOME directory of the user you logged in as.
-Do an lcd to the directory that has the file before the put:
lcd c:fileisinthisdirectory

-you can turn on hash to display a hash during transfer; (just type hash at the prompt before you put)

-there should be a summary of the filetransfer if it was successful.

Go to Unix box and do
find / -name "today*"
(that means to start from /.
In the other hand, when ftp, you can set up the local directory and the remote directory.
Also, using full path you can specify the source and destination.
Try to specify the transfer method before ftp-ing:
ftp>binary
ftp>put c:today_tar /directory/today_tar

As well you can try to get the file ftp-ing from unix side. (using get in stead of put.
