6.3.2.2Moving Multiple Titles

The mget and mput commands are intended for the backup and restore of titles between the MFS and a local filesystem. You can use mput only with files that you have previously backed up with mget. For example, if you periodically use the command:

ftp> bin

ftp> lcd /home/backup/ ftp> mget smc:title=\*

...to back up your titles, you can use:

ftp> bin

ftp> lcd /home/backup/ ftp> mput \*

...to restore the backed-up titles. To allow the use of a subsequent mput command, the backup directory (/home/backup, in our example) must not contain any files other than titles backed up from a Sun MediaCenter server.

To summarize, mget can copy either a single title or all of the titles on a server; mput can copy only files that have been previously backed up with mget. The directory from which mput copies titles must contain only backed-up titles and no other files.

mget

The mget command allows you to retrieve a single title or all of the titles on a Sun MediaCenter server. mget supports the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character to specify all titles. An example of its use:

ftp> bin

ftp> lcd /home/backup/ ftp> mget smc:title=\*

200 PORT command successful. <queries to confirm the transfer of each title>

ftp>
