Use FTP to transfer files between Linux and Windows XP

I installed Linux on a virtual machine, and the real system was Windows XP. in Windows XP, I used Serv-u software to set up an FTP server, then we can log on to the FTP server in the virtual machine's Linux to download or upload files. The difference is that in Linux, the FTP command is entered in the command line, there should also be Linux-specific software such as FlashFXP and CuteFTP. However, if I do not know it, I will not miss it.

A Brief Introduction to the FTP commands in Linux:

1. Connect to the FTP server

Format: ftp hostname or ip-address

A)In the linux Command Line, enter the IP address or Host Name of the server to be set up: ftp 10.60.48.195

B)The server asks you for your username and password. after entering the password, you can wait for the authentication to pass. Note: When you enter the password, the input is not displayed on the terminal, and it is always blank. So if you are sure that the input is correct, press Enter.

2. Download an object

The get and mget commands are usually used to download files. get is used for a single file, while mget is used for multiple files.

A)Get

Format: get file name to be downloaded saved to the local file name

To obtain D: \ pic \ logo.jpg on the server, enter the following command:

Get/pic/logo.jpg face.jpg

In this example, the logo.jpg file on the server is downloaded to the local machine and renamed face.jpg ".

B)Mget

Format: batch files to be downloaded by mget

To download all files under D: \ pic \ on the server, enter the following command:

Cd/pic

Mget *.*

Note: All downloaded files are saved to the current directory of the Linux host. For example, if you run the ftp command under/root/moqingwen, all files are downloaded to/root/moqingwen.

3. upload files

The put and mput commands are usually used to upload files. put is used for a single file, while mput is used for multiple files.

A)Put

Format: put local files to be uploaded are saved to files on the server.

To upload your logo.jpg file to the server E: \ PICAND rename it face.jpg

Put logo.jpg/pic/face.jpg

B)Mput

Format: mput local batch file to be uploaded

To upload all jpg files in the local directory to the server E: \ pic

Cd/rose

Mput *. jpg

Note: All uploaded files are from the current directory of the Linux host. For example, if you run the ftp command under/root/moqingwen, only files under/root/moqingwen will be uploaded to the server.

4. Disconnect

Bye: the connection to the server is interrupted.

Format: bye

Although they are all very simple, they are very practical.
