MLS
Writes an abbreviated directory listing of multiple remote directories or files to a local file.
ML[S] remote_listing [remote_listing ...] local_file
remote_listing | Specifies the remote directories or file masks from which a |
| directory listing is to be generated. The ellipsis (...) means |
| that you may specify multiple remote directories or files, |
| delimited by a comma or by one or more blank spaces. |
local_file | A valid file path on the local host to store the remote listing. |
| This parameter is required, because MLS always outputs the |
| remote listing to a local file and not to a terminal. FTP always |
| uses the last parameter in the MLS runstring as the |
| local_file. |
MODE
Specifies the file transfer mode.
MO[DE] mode_name
mode_name | A valid FTP file transfer mode. The only currently supported |
| mode is stream. Stream mode specifies that the data is |
| transmitted as a stream of bytes. There is no restriction on the |
| representation type used. If the structure is a file structure |
| (which is the default), the EndOfFile is indicated by the |
| sending host closing the data connection and all bytes are data |
| bytes. |
MPUT
Transfers multiple local files to the remote host.
MP[UT] local_file [local_file ...]
local_file | Specifies a valid file path on the local host to be transferred to |
| the remote host. The ellipsis (...) means that you can specify |
| multiple local files, delimited by a comma or by one or more |
| blank spaces. You may use wild card characters in the file |
| names. The files are transferred to the remote host, under the |
| same directory and file names as the source files. If a remote file |
| with the same file name already exists before the file transfer, it is |
| overwritten without warning. |
