- Appendix D FTPBIN Command Reference
-
-
-
- This appendix describes the FTPBIN commands that
- NCSA Telnet uses.
-
- Command Action
-
- ? prints help information.
-
- ! escapes to a MS-DOS shell.
-
- account allows entering of account data for hosts which
- require this information to log in.
-
- ascii sets the transfer type to ASCII--this command will
- do some translation, so do not use this mode to
- transfer files which are not ASCII text.
-
- bget gets (transfers from remote machine to local PC) a
- specified file in binary mode.
-
- binary sets the transfer type to binary--this mode will do
- no translation of end-of-line characters, etc., so do
- not use it to transfer ASCII text files.
-
- bput puts (transfers from local PC to remote host) a
- specified file in binary mode.
-
- bye closes any open session and quits FTPBIN.
-
- close closes any open session, but does not exit FTPBIN.
-
- delete deletes a file on the remote machine. Prompts for
- confirmation if prompting is on.
-
- debug sets the level of debugging (default 0). This
- is mainly for developmental purposes, and
- should not be necessary for normal use.
-
- dir gives a directory listing of the remote directory.
-
- get gets (transfers form remote host to local PC) a
- single specified file.
-
- glob toggles expansion of wildcard characters in local
- filenames.
-
- hash toggles hashing mode. If hashing mode is on,
- every time a full buffer (usually 1024 bytes-1K
- bytes) is transferred, a "#" symbol will be printed.
- help performs the same function as the "?" command.
-
- interactive puts FTPBIN into interactive mode--i.e. turns
- prompting on.
-
- lls gives a listing of the local directory.
-
- ls gives a listing of the remote directory (same as
- dir).
-
- mdelete sets multiple deletion of remote files.
-
- mdir lists of multiple remote directories (i.e. runs "ls" on
- more than one remote directory).
-
- mget gets (transfers from remote host to local PC)
- multiple files. For example, "mget*" will copy all
- files in the current remote directory to the current
- local directory.
-
- mkdir makes a directory on the remote host's drive.
-
- mls lists the contents of multiple remote directories.
-
- mode sets file transfer mode. Currently, only stream
- mode is supported, so this command does not
- function.
-
- more toggles (or expressly turns "on" or "off", if "on"
- or "off" is specified after the more command) the
- "more" paging of directories. That is, if "more" is
- turned on, you will see listed directories a page at a
- time, instead of all of the data being scrolled
- through without stopping.
-
- mput puts (transfers from local PC to remote host)
- multiple files. For example, "mput*" will transfer
- all files in the current local directory to the current
- remote directory.
-
- noninteractive puts FTPBIN into non-interactive mode--i.e. turns
- prompting off.
-
- open opens a connection to the specified host.
-
- prompt toggles the current prompting mode--if prompting
- is on, it is turned off, and if it is off, it is turned on.
- Prompting means that FTPBIN will prompt you
- or every file if you request a multiple file transfer,
- deletion, or directory.
-
- put puts (transfers from local PC to remote host) a
- single specified file.
-
- pwd displays the current directory on the remote
- machine.
- quit closes any open session and quits FTPBIN. (same
- as the command "bye").
-
- quote sends an arbitrary FTP command.
-
- recv receives a file.
-
- remotehelp queries the remote host for help information.
-
- rename renames a file on the remote host.
-
- rm deletes a file on the remote host.
-
- rmdir deletes a directory on the remote host.
-
- send performs same functions as the "put" command--
- transfers a file from the local PC to the remote
- host.
-
- sendport toggles the use of the FTP PORT command for
- each data connection/transfer.
-
- site supports the SITE command for hosts that require
- SITE information.
-
- slashflip toggles changing of "\" on outgoing commands.
-
- status displays the current status of FTPBIN--i.e.
- if connected (and to where), current transfer
- mode, debugging level, prompting mode,
- slashflipping, verbosity, more mode-basically, the
- status of anything that can be changed in an
- FTPBIN session.
-
- struct sets the file transfer structure. Currently only file
- structure is supported.
-
- type sets transfer type. See "binary" and "ascii"
- commands.
-
- user prompts for user information (i.e. login ID and
- password)-this command is useful if your first
- login attempt fails. Type user and retype your
- login information.
-
- verbose toggles verbose mode (i.e. sets the amount of
- information you will receive on your display).
