Sco Unix FTP shennanigans. FAO TDC perhaps :D

My boss is trying to ftp a folder (with all its contents) somewhere via command line ftp like business. Of course you can't highlight all the files and click send, but is there a command to send all the files in succession, or do you have to do it one at a time?

Cheers in advance.

mget * or mput * (depending it you are sending or reciving )
you might wanne type 'prompt ' before that otherwise it will ask for confimation at everyfile.


the * are wild cards like in the old dos days so mput *.html will upload all html file in the current dir

Does that actually upload subdirectories (keeping the structure n all that) too?

I honestly dont remember

you could just make the directory on the remote host first using mkdir then cd into the dir and use mput *, unless you have alot of sub dirs

Absolutely loads.

Ended up using FlashFXP to fxp from one unix box to the other.

100mbit network, files were no bigger than 300k, and it took a good 5 minutes to send accross. There were quite a lot of files/subdirs :/

I was about to modify a script I have to help with this (just because I already have it, and it would make you look clever), but I guess I'm too slow.
