FTP Command

usb1 · 12-21-2003, 03:41 PM

Hello. I log in into my server by telnet. But sometimes I want to upload files from my computer to my server. My question is is there a command that i can use to send files from my computer to my server using telnet?
Thanks in Adbance

Well, there's the ftp command, or, as secure
replacments for both telnet & ftp, ssh and scp

Read the respective man-pages

Cheers,
Tink

Nope and telnet is insecure. You should look into setting up ssh and then you can actually use scp which is a secure way to send or upload files to your server, etc.
Or simply setup FTP on your server.

I have ssh . How can I do it with ssh?

Read
man scp
:P

Usually its something like this:

scp <user>@<hostname or IP> [ file-to-copy-over ]

But like Tinkster said, read the man pages for more options, etc.

another secure way is

sftp user@host to login
the put <filename> to upload
get <filename> to download

For example if I want upload something from my computer to the server. What is the whole command that i have to type?
