Methods of Specifying Files

There are four methods available to specify multiple files in the LIST, MGET, MPUT, and MDELETE UFTP commands.
 

Method

Example

Using wildcards.

$ MGET *.htm?

Using Regular Expressions (regex).

$ MDELETE smit.(script|transaction)

Providing an explicit comma-delimited list.

$ MPUT options.cfg data.txt,spreadsheet.xls

Using a single literal filename (no pattern matching).

$ MGET smit.script

 

For MGET, the -dst configuration option specifies the local directory to save the transferred files.

For MPUT, the -dst configuration option specifies the remote directory to save the transferred files.

 

Note

Wildcard matching and Regular Expression matching are not compatible due to the use by each of the * and ? matching characters. The default is wildcard matching. The REGEX configuration option lets you select Regular Expression matching for MGET, MPUT, and MDELETE.
