i run pure-ftpd on my pc.with the commands put or send i want to send to the other pc in my home network a folder which has several subfolders inside.i figured out that the put/send command can be usd to send plain files.i also used ? to see all the other available commands.how can i send the whole folder ?
thanks in advance!

mput/mget are for multiple file transfers, though you still have to say "y" to every file. I don't think that you can transfer without confirming each file.

i think the better way is to compress the folder's i want to send so the ftp system recognises them as files.in such way i can send them easily.
thanks!

you can olso use the command put -r or -R directoryname

ok i will try and i post back if it doesn't work..
thanks!

i tried put -r (or -R) and i get :usage: put local-file [remote-file]
i think that pure-ftpd does not have such command.although thanks for the help..

try the multiple file post command with a -y flag, some programs use this flag to automaticaly respond 'y' to any questions asked....

ok i try it but i think that compress them is more easily i think..
thanks!

sounds cool out of curitosity, are you just uploading all this to an ftp, or is the ftp acting as an intermediary? it might just be easier to kermit the files over or something (i know its oldschool, but still effective)
