i'm having a problem transfering files using ftp through the windows command prompt. I can easily send individual files, but when i try to send a folder full of stuff i get an error:
Error opening local file
i'm using the put command, instead of using put, is there another command to send a directory?

EDIT: should "put dir F:\JBi" work?

EDIT2: should i even bother learning/using command prompt or should i go out and dl a different ftp client?
 
mput, gah... thanks. I use the command prompt FTP all the time for quick transfers at school.

psftp is another great command prompt driven FTP program.

As for GUI's... I love my FileZilla.
 
ncftp for command line, filezilla for gui...

but to answer the original question, put is only for single files, use mput for multiple... :)
 
Dont forget that if you are using MPUT, enter "prompt n" (without quotes) before you do the mput else it will prompt you for every file you are putting. Conversely, you can also mget.
