The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is an application we can use to transfer of files from one computer to another — or, basically, any device in the world that is connected to the Internet. In this article, you will learn how to upload a file to an FTP server using Studio Pro.
Instructions
In this example, we use cURL, a program that you can access through the terminal (CMD) using the Command Prompt activity of Studio Pro. To do so, follow these steps:
1. Use the Command Prompt activity located in OS Automation/System
2. Select the “Calculate a value” option and enter the following command:
curl -s -T [LOCAL_FILE] ftp://[FTP_HOSTNAME]/[FTP_DIRECTORY_PATH]- [LOCAL_FILE] is the file you want to upload to the FTP Server.
- [FTP_HOSTNAME] is the name of the server you want to work with.
- [FTP_DIRECTORY_PATH] is the directory in the FTP Server where you want to upload the [LOCAL_FILE].
For example, a complete upload file to FTP command would look like this:
curl -s -T test_photo.png ftp://ftp.example.com/dir/path/Now, if you want to upload multiple files at the same time, do the following:
curl -s -T 'image[1-99].jpg' ftp://ftp.example.com/upload/1curl -s -T '{Huey,Dewey,Louie}.jpg' ftp://ftp.example.com/nephews/Complete detail about the cURL program can be found on cURL - How To Use.
