Chapter 6 Sun MediaCenter Server FTP Daemon 6-9
Examples of mls use:
6.3.2 Moving Files
When copying a data file (that is, an MPEG file), as distinguished from an index file,
within ftp, use the bin command to put ftp in binary mode. Index files are ASCII
files, so you can use ASCII mode, ftp’s default mode, for their transfer. When
copying both data and index files, as you might with mput and mget, use ftp’s
binary mode.
The multiple-copy commands, mput and mget, work as they do in their standard
forms. If you invoke ftp with the -i option, you are prompted (mget or mget
<file>?) for each file copied. If you invoke ftp without -i, ftp copies multiple files,
one following the other, without intervening prompts.
For all commands described here, you must specify the name (title=) attribute.
For get and mget, you must specify, in addition to name, speed and type. We
recommend that you also specify rate and format, so that those values are
available if need to copy the video file back to a Sun MediaCenter server.
