get

Syntax: GET (sourcefile) [destloc] [modeswitch]

What it does: Downloads sourcefile from a site, where:

  • Sourcefile is the name of the source file on the FTP site. Wildcards are not allowed in the source file specification.
  • Destloc is the name of the downloaded file or folder to be placed on the local system. If destloc is not specified, the name of the source file will be used on the local system.
  • The transfer mode is indicated in the modeswitch (0 = ASCII, 1 = BINARY).

Notes:

  • This command is executed only if a connection to a site has been established.
  • Use MGET to retrieve multiple files. Use RGET to retrieve folders with subfolders.
