If that is what you're doing, you can use any ftp program on your windows machine and it will connect to the UNIX machine. For example, if you use WS_FTP or cuteftp on windows, you can select a list of files and upload them to the server and not worry about typing each filename. If you are trying to upload to a windows machine from UNIX, there are several graphical FTP programs that should allow you to do this stuff without having to use the command line. You will find FTP much easier to use if you can use a graphical program, because they all will do things like file globbing for you. If there is some reason you need to use a command line program, as _Mauro said, use mput to upload multiple files from a directory. Try putting filenames with spaces in them in quotes. For example, "My Documents" or 'My Documents' or My\ Documents should work. Remember that UNIX filenames are case sensitive so you might be better off converting all your Windows filenames to lower case. As bitdamaged pointed out, you might be better of using scp than ftp if your are going to use command line programs. scp is a standard part of most Linux releases and you can get a good scp/telnet/scp program for windows from [url=http://www.putty.nl/]PuTTY[/url]. Let us know if you have any more questions about this. If you want to continue learnign more about ftp, it would help us if you would let us know which system you are running FTP on and which FTP program you are using. One other [b]helpful[/b] hint: most command line ftp programs will give you a list of commands they recognize if you type help at the ftp prompt. . -- not necessarily stoned... just beautiful.
