F[ORM] format

 

format

Specifies the file transfer format. Currently the only supported

 

format is non-print. Nonprint format specifies that no

 

vertical format information is contained.

GET

Transfers a remote file to a local file. Same as RECV.

GE[T] remote_file [local_file]

remote_file

Specifies a valid file path on the remote host to be copied to the

 

local host.

local_file

Specifies the file on the local host to copy into. If this

 

parameter is not specified, FTP uses the remote file path as the

 

local file path. If a local file name is specified without a

 

directory, the current working directory on the local host is

 

used. If a local file with the same file name already exists before

 

the file transfer, it is overwritten without warning.

GLOB

Toggles file name globbing (expansion) for multiple file operations. When file name globbing is enabled, FTP expands wild card characters in multiple file and directory operations. In other words, FTP uses the wild card characters as wild cards and not as the characters they normally represent. The wild card characters used depend on the file system processing the FTP command.

GL[OB]

HASH

Specifies the printing of a hash sign (#) for each data block transferred. The size of the data block is 1024 bytes. This command toggles the printing of hash signs.
