may cause performance degradation.
help [ command ]
Print an informative message about the ftp command called ftp-command. If ftp-commandis unspeci®ed, print a list of all ftp commands.
idle [ seconds ]
Set the inactivity timer on the remote server to seconds seconds. If seconds is omitted, ftp prints the current inactivity timer.
lcd [ local-directory ]
Set the local working directory to local-directory. If local-directoryis unspeci®ed, set the local working directory to the user's local home directory.
ls [ remote-directory ] [ local-file ]
Write a listing of remote-directoryto local-®le. The listing includes any system-dependent information that the server chooses to include; for example, most UNIX systems produce output from the command ls -l(see also nlist). If neither remote-directorynor local-®leis speci®ed, list the remote working directory. If globbing is enabled, globbing metacharacters are expanded.
macdef macro-name
De®ne a macro. Subsequent lines are stored as the macro macro-name; an empty input line terminates macro input mode. There is a limit of 16 macros and 4096 total characters in all de®ned mac- ros. Macros remain de®ned until a close command is executed. The macro processor interprets $ and \ as special characters. A $ followed by a number (or numbers) is replaced by the corresponding argument on the macro invocation command line. A $ followed by an i signals to the macro processor that the executing macro is to be looped. On the ®rst pass $i is replaced by the ®rst argument on the macro invocation command line, on the second pass it is replaced by the second argument, and so on.
A\ followed by any character is replaced by that character. Use the \ to prevent special treatment of the $.
mdelete [ remote-files ]
Delete remote-®les. If globbing is enabled, globbing metacharacters are expanded.
mdir remote-files local-file
Write a listing of remote-®lesto local-®le. If globbing is enabled, globbing metacharacters are expanded. If interactive prompting is on, ftp prompts the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the target local ®le for mdir output.
mget remote-files
Copy remote-®lesto the local system. If globbing is enabled, globbing metacharacters are expanded. The resulting local ®le names are processed according to case, ntrans, and nmap settings.
mkdir directory-name
Create remote directory-name.
mls remote-files local-file
Write an abbreviated listing of remote-®lesto local-®le. If globbing is enabled, globbing metacharac- ters are expanded. If interactive prompting is on, ftp prompts the user to verify that the last argument is indeed the target local ®le for mls output.
mode [ mode-name ]
Set the FTP ®le transfer mode to mode-name. The only supported mode is stream.
modtime remote-file
Show the last modi®cation time of remote-®le.
mput local-files
Copy local-®lesfrom the local system to the remote system. The remote ®les have the same name as the local ®les processed according to ntrans and nmap settings. If globbing is enabled, globbing characters are expanded.
newer file-name
Get the ®le only if the modi®cation time of the remote ®le is more recent that the ®le on the current system. If the ®le does not exist on the current system, the remote ®le is considered newer. Other- wise, this command is identical to get.
nlist [ remote-directory ] [ local-file ]
Write an abbreviated listing of remote-directoryto local-®le. If remote-directoryis left unspeci®ed, the
current working directory is used. | If interactive prompting is on, ftp prompts the user to verify |
