A
t
the

prompt,
t

e:

r

lename
The
r
emote
lename
is
the
name
of
a
le
in
the
remote w
orking directory
.
In
that
case,
ftp
copies
the
le
to
the
lo
cal
w
orking
directory
and
giv
es it
the same
le name
as the
remote
name .
If the
le is
in another
directory
on the remote host,
remote
lename is the absolute
or relative path for
that le. The
ftp program copies the le to a le name with the same
path on y
our lo cal system. (F
or
example, get /user/doc/
lename ).
If there is no matc
hing path,
ftp gives y
ou a message, \
No such file
or directory
". If the destination le already exists,
ftp overwrites
its
contents
with the con
tents of the remote le.
When copying successfully
, ftp gives y
ou messages conrming the cop
y
and the length of time it required.
