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.
