ftp directory

[juno2]

can the ftp function to transfer a directory ( eg. /home/edpuser/* ) ? thx

[Jeff Schussele]

No not directly...

But call ftp from/to THAT dir with -i and then use mget...no replies needed.

Or tar it up first.

Rgds,
Jeff

you can use rcp to transfer the dir from one machine to another.

If you are looking for ftp tools then you should get tools like ws-ftp to transfer the dir's.
I have not come across a unix tool for ftpying dir.

You can use ws-ftp to get the dir to unix and then again to the other system.It is a two way work.

The best would be to rcp the things

Thanks

hi,

mput or mget will do it.

on top of that, if you want to script everything, you should include the "prompt" command to avoid interaction.
