Download files using FTP

First:
before downloading a file, we first need to use lcdthe command to set the local acceptance directory location.

lcd /home/user/yourdirectoryname

If you do not specify the download directory, the file will be downloaded to the working directory when you log in to FTP.

Now, we can use the command get to download the file, such as:

get file

The file will be saved in the directory location set using the lcd command.

Wildcards and commands can be used to download multiple files mget. For example, in the following example I plan to download all files ending with .xls.

mget *.xls

Upload files using FTP

After completing the FTP connection, FTP can also upload files

Use putthe command to upload files:

put file

When the file is no longer in the current local directory, you can use an absolute path:

put /path/file

Likewise, multiple files can be uploaded:

mput *.xls

Close FTP connection

After completing the FTP work, the connection needs to be closed for security reasons. There are three commands to close the connection:

bye
exit
quit
