6.3.2Moving Files
When copying a data file (that is, an MPEG file), as distinguished from an index file, within ftp, use the bin command to put ftp in binary mode. Index files are ASCII files, so you can use ASCII mode, ftp’s default mode, for their transfer. When copying both data and index files, as you might with mput and mget, use ftp’s binary mode.
The
For all commands described here, you must specify the name (title=) attribute. For get and mget, you must specify, in addition to name, speed and type. We recommend that you also specify rate and format, so that those values are available if need to copy the video file back to a Sun MediaCenter server.
