Before downloading a file, we should set the local FTP file download directory by using 'lcd' command:

lcd /home/user/yourdirectoryname

Now, we can use the command 'get' command to download a file, the usage is:

get file


To download several files we can use wildcards. In this example, I will download all files with the .xls file extension.

mget *.xls




We can upload files that are in the local directory where we made the FTP connection.

To upload a file, we can use 'put' command.

put file

When the file that you want to upload is not in the local directory, you can use the absolute path starting with "/" as well:

put /path/file

To upload several files we can use the mput command similar to the mget example from above:

mput *.xls
