Using FTP
Using FTP Commands in UDCs and Programs
Transferring Multiple Files
You can create a command file to automatically copy a group of files from the remote
system into your account as in the following example.
1. Create a file with the following contents:
2. From the CI, (:) enter the following to execute the command file you created:
:yourfile remotehostname username password
EXITONERROR is enabled in the above example. If there is an error while executing, the
error will be printed on the terminal display.
You can create a UDC using the same set of commands above, except changing the word
parm to a UDC name such as getfiles. The first statement for this UDC is:
getfiles node, user, pass
Enter the contents of the file in your UDC file. To execute this UDC, you would enter:
:getfiles
remotehosthame username password

retrieve a file from a remote system. To execute a job, enter STREAM
