The directory your files come from is the directory you are currently at
when you do the ftp command. Otherwise you'll have to use lcd to move to
where the files you want to upload are. You can do an lls to list the
files from your current local directory. After starting your ftp session
to the remote machine they will drop you at some directory but that
might not be where your files need to go. Most hosting places I've
worked with drop me in some generic place and then I have to use the CD
command to change directory to the place I'm supposed to put the files.
Since you're getting an error 160 (permission denied) when doing a put
it sounds like the destination directory is not correct. They usually
lock down any directory except the one you're supposed to be working in.

Hi, Chris,
Currently, I'm getting error 160 when trying to use the put command. When using
lcd for uploads, do I need to specify both the upload directory and the
directory the files are coming from?

I haven't used ftp in a while since most sites I use now require using sftp.
That said, I think typing prompt and hitting return would toggle the mget/mput
yes/no prompt on or off. Also, most ftp command line tools support lcd which
lets you change the local directory you are putting/getting files to after
you're connected. I don't know how many times I've FTPed to a server, found the
directory I wanted to put something into only to realize I had FTPed from the
wrong directory on my local machine. So a little noodling with lcd fixed that
and I didn't have to quit my ftp session and start over.

Hello Teresa,
I've just done this:
Open a terminal.
typed: cd Doc
Then I pressed the tab key then the enter / return key.
Result being in my Documents directory.
I then entered the details of my domain using the built in ftp program.
I then tried the cd command to move to my public_html directory.
I typed: cd pub
Then pressed tab and then enter / return.
Result I successfully moved into that directory as in the terminal.
I then typed: mget *.html
Then pressed enter / return.
Result the ftp client pulled all *.html files. However, it did require me to
press enter after every file. Maybe I needed to use a flag on the mget command.
So I'm guessing it would work for you. However, I have installed macports but
tab completion was available to me prior to installing macports. I noticed that
the ls command gave all the permissions which is really hard to read. This is
why I use ncftp because the interface is a lot cleaner.
At the end of the day, just give it a go. I don't think you can break it.

Thanks for the suggestion, Gina. I hadn't thought of this option, to be honest.
Is this a script in bash? I was just using the ftp command, and it worked
nicely for one file at a time. I could just use the mget and then use tab
completion, as I understand it?
I know just enough about command-line to be dangerous. :)

Hello,
I accept that you'd rather use a GUI but I wondered whether you understood tab
completion and wild card characters? I use ncftp in the terminal which support
these bash features.

Hi, all,
Unless I'm missing something, I'm having a lot of trouble with Cyberduck. The
progress bar seems inaccessible, and the downloads stop a lot. I've looked into
ftp via Terminal, but I'm not sure I want to type in the large numbers of
filenames, as I'm downloading moderately large groups of files. I'm using a
2009 Mac Mini with OS Mountain Lion. I'm running Clamxav antivirus, and kind of
wondering if it might be checking downloads individually. Once I am able to
start transferring a file, the speeds are very good.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Teresa
