File Transfer Tips

Troubleshooting

• 501 Server cannot accept argument.

  • Issue is that your FTP client is in Active mode, trying to send command to the server. And apparently, your client side firewall does not allow this.

  • Solution is to use passive mode

• This program cannot be run in DOS mode.

  • Use binary mode when copying files via FTP.

#Use binary mode
binary
put file.exe

#Passive mode
ftp -p <IP?

#List all files
dir -a
