From here, you will be able to transfer files between the file systems of the two computers (yours and your server), generally by dragging and dropping icons, or selecting files and clicking "SEND" or an arrow icon.
| ftp asis.com |
Or, just start FTP, and after it's running, type:
| open asis.com |
Either way, you'll then be prompted for your USERNAME and PASSWORD.
Then you may transfer files using the "get" and "send"
command. First, however, you may need to change the way FTP sends your
files. It generally assumes you are sending a text file; if you send graphics,
you may have problems. You need to inform FTP by entering the command:
"binary". To return to text file mode, type: "ascii".
"send" allows you to move files from your
desktop computer to the server;
"get" performs the converse.
These commands have the following syntax on standard UNIX-style
FTP programs: Enter get or send, then the file you wish to perform the
operation on. That is:
A Few Examples:
| send c:/windows/desktop/index.html public_html/index.html |
| get ./public_html/index.html c:/windows/desktop/index.html |
| send index.html |
To perform the first operation.
