Sun Microsystems 2.1 manual Renaming Files

mput

The mput command copies files from a local file system to a Sun MediaCenter server. mput allows you to copy a single video title or all of the titles that have been copied to a given directory in a local file system using the mget command. mput supports the use of the asterisk (*) wildcard character to specify all of the files in a directory. An example of its use:

ftp> bin

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

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

ftp>

Note –You cannot use mput to load multiple titles onto a Sun MediaCenter server, unless those titles have been backed up using mget. To load multiple titles that have not been backed up (such as when loading titles for the first time), you must use multiple, individual put commands.

The directory containing the titles that you are copying with mput must contain only the titles being copied and no other files.

6.3.3Renaming Files

rename

The rename command allows you to rename a video file on a Sun MediaCenter server. You specify only a title name for this command. All other attributes of the title remain the same.

An example of its use:

ftp> rename smc:title=batman (to-name)smc:title=Batman

200 PORT command successful.

ftp>

Note that if a title contains trick play streams, these are renamed.
