Uploading files ftp linux

I would like to do this! Can you please expand on how I can do this? I need to do some things with ssh after uploading the file. Can this be done in one session?

While it was useful advice for the OP, it shouldn't be the accepted answer. It doesn't answer the original question (that is found via Google)

Some of the other posters have added binary mode (i.e. bin ) to the FTP commands. Since yours is the accepted answer, I recommend you adding this to your answer too.

Can also type hash to show progress of the ftp transmission in a way. Also, you will usually see

@SayanDasgupta as the answer says "The binary command will set it to binary mode which helps if you are transferring something other than a text file." If you are transferring images, pdfs, documents, zips, archives you want binary mode. If you know you are only transferring literal text files (e.g. source code, csvs) then skipping the binary might save you a tiny amount of time.

You can use a heredoc to do this, e.g.

so the ftp process is fed on standard input with everything up to End-Of-Session . It is a useful tip for spawning any process, not just ftp ! Note that this saves spawning a separate process (echo, cat, etc.). It is not a major resource saving, but it is worth bearing in mind.

This is totally confusing. How do I get out of this End-Of-Session thing? Why not input directly to the ftp prompt that comes without that?

@erikb85 - this for scripts, not (necessarily) for interactive use. The heredoc will automatically register an act upon your 'End-Of-Session' marker (you'd likely use EOF or similar)

The ftp command isn't designed for scripts, so controlling it is awkward, and getting its exit status is even more awkward.

Curl is made to be scriptable, and also has the merit that you can easily switch to other protocols later by just modifying the URL. If you put your FTP credentials in your .netrc, you can simply do:

# Download file curl --netrc --remote-name ftp://ftp.example.com/file.bin # Upload file curl --netrc --upload-file file.bin ftp://ftp.example.com/ 

If you must, you can specify username and password directly on the command line using --user username:password instead of --netrc .

How to Use the Linux ftp Command

FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a network protocol used for transferring files from one computer system to another. Even though the safety of FTP tends to spark a lot of discussion, it is still an effective method of transferring files within a secure network.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to use the ftp command to connect to a remote system, transfer files, and manage files and directories.

• Access to a local system and a remote FTP server (learn how to install an FTP server on Ubuntu, CentOS 7, or Raspberry Pi).
• A working Internet connection.
• Access to the terminal window.

IMPORTANT: FTP traffic is not encrypted and is thus considered unsafe. It is not recommended to transfer files over the Internet using FTP. To learn more about secure alternatives to FTP, have a look at our articles on SFTP and TSL vs. SSL.

Linux ftp Command Syntax

The Linux ftp command uses the following basic syntax:

The IP is the IP address of the system you are connecting to.

The options available for the ftp command are:

The ftp command connects you to a remote system and initiates the FTP interface. The FTP interface uses the following commands to manage and transfer files to the remote system:

How to Use ftp Command in Linux

The ftp command connects a computer system to a remote server using the FTP protocol. Once connected, it also lets users transfer files between the local machine and the remote system, and manage files and directories on the remote system.

Establish an FTP Connection

To establish an FTP connection to a remote system, use the ftp command with the remote system's IP address:

For instance, connecting to a remote server with the IP address 192.168.100.9:
