Using the Short Name

If the file you want to transfer is named my tartan.bmp in Windows, but appears as my~1.bmp when you use the Dir command at the command prompt, you can use the short file name to transfer the file (as shown in the Dir listing you get from the command prompt). To do this (using the first example in this chapter), enter:

wsftppro -s local:c:\armstrong\my~1.bmp -d robert!border:/pub/my~1.bmp
