Re: How to FTP an IFS directory

[CRPence <crp@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

  Years ago I learned that some subcommand requests in an FTP client 
may dislike directory specifications.  To avoid ever having to know when 
or why any particular subcommand was directory averse, the easiest way 
for me to never experience those issues [and thus never have to memorize 
it] was to always use LCD and CD to set current directory at the source 
and target *before* issuing unqualified subcommand requests.  So for 
example:
    lcd /home/tspgmr10
    cd /home/tspgmr10
    prompt
    mput *
  Note that the mput request specifies only a from-file generic; 
specifying it twice [with the assumption that the second is a to-file 
specification] will, IIRC, be interpreted as two fromfile requests; i.e. 
the request would send all files twice.
