uploading files command ??

[Zer0FreeZ]

This might seem very newbish .. but i have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while.. At the moment i use the 'wget' command to download files from ftp sites to my unix server but i was wondering if there is a way or command that i can use to upload files from my server to another ftp site ?? Any help on this would be much appreciated.

"put filename"

then

"man ftp"

andysimmons, i think you misunderstood what he wants.

NAME
curl - transfer a URL

SYNOPSIS
curl [options] [URL...]

DESCRIPTION
curl is a client to get documents/files from or send documents to a server, using
any of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or
FILE). The command is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of
interactivity.

curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user authentication, ftp
upload, HTTP post, SSL (https:) connections, cookies, file transfer resume and
more.

thanks for the help but i am having some troubles with the curl command.. i will give you an example of how i am using it.. and maybe you can tell me whether it is right or not.

this is the current directory i am in : /temp/test
and in that dir is a file called : data.txt
and this is the ftp i want to send it to : 24.230.33.7
then i use the curl command like this :

curl -T data.txt ftp://24.230.33.7/incoming/

but all that happens is that it says : curl (28) connection aborted

Any ideas ???

Oops, sorry about that. Should've re-read the post before I replied :)

it's expecting a username and password also, your current directory isn't in your path so you may have to use ./

curl -t ./data.test -u username:password ftp://24.230.33.7/incoming/

Hey watch the language Hayl. You gotta lookout for those smileys ;)
