[QUOTE="james019, post: 973248, member: 82130"] I know it's been a while since you asked this but just so you have some clarification (and for anyone else interested): Not knowing exactly where you executed the ftp command, here are few things to consider: 1. If you have a lot of files to transfer from one directory, execute the ftp command from this same directory otherwise you will have to specify the path to the file(s). 2. Unless you are renaming a file, you should be fine using just 'put filename' 3. If you are specifying a full pathname to your local file than I would specify the filename as you want it to appear on the remote site so: 'put path/filename filename' (of course, if you want it to go into a different directory than where you landed on the ftp login on the remote host, specify the full path and filename). 4. You can always drag a file from your desktop (for example) to the ftp window to upload: a) type 'put ' [notice the space after 'put'] b)drag the file to the ftp window c) specify the new name for the remote after the path/filename on the ftp command [you'll also need space between local file and remote file names]. By the way, you do need to specify the file's extension: if your file is named filename.tiff be sure the '.tiff' part is included else ftp will not find it. If you're uploading/downloading many files, consider using mput/mget. You can use a wildcard character (for example, if you wanted to upload all files with a .tiff extension from the folder where you launched ftp: 'mput *.tiff' ). Finally, should you decide to use sftp instead of ftp, the basic commands work the same for the most part. I hope this helps ... [/QUOTE]
