| ascp: Transferring from the Command Line with Ascp | 125
• Upload two files, myfile1 and myfile2, to the named pipe /tmp/mypipe (streaming output) on the server
at 10.0.0.2. Transfer at 100 Mbps.
ascp -l 100m --mode=send --user=username --host=10.0.0.2 myfile1 myfile2
stdio-tar:////tmp/mypipe
This sends an encoded stream of myfile1 and myfile2 (with the format of sourcefile in the upload
example) to the pipe /tmp/mypipe. If /tmp/mypipe does not exist, it is created.
• Download the files from the previous example from 10.0.0.2 to stdout. Transfer at 100 Mbps.
ascp -l 100m --mode=recv --user=username --host=10.0.0.2 myfile1 myfile2
stdio-tar://
Standard output receives data identical to sourcefile in the upload example.
• Download /tmp/myfile1 and /tmp/myfile2 to stdout by using a persistent session. Start the persistent
session, which listens on management port 12345:
ascp -l 100m --mode=recv --keepalive -M 12345 --user=username --
host=10.0.0.2 stdio-tar://
Send the following in through management port 12345:
FASPMGR 2
Type: START
Source: /tmp/myfile1
Destination: mynewfile1
FASPMGR 2
Type: START
Source: /tmp/myfile2
Destination: mynewfile2
FASPMGR 2
Type: DONE
The destination must be a filename; file paths are not supported.
Standard out receives the transferred data with the following syntax:
File: mynewfile1
Size: file_size
mynewfile1_data
File: mynewfile2
Size: file_size
mynewfile2_data
• Upload two files, myfile1 and myfile2, to named pipe /tmp/mypipe on the server at 10.0.0.2. Transfer at
100 Mbps.
ascp -l 100m --mode=send --user=username --host=10.0.0.2 myfile1 myfile2
stdio-tar:////tmp/mypipe
If file/tmp/mypipe does not exist, it is created.
• Upload two files, myfile1 (1025 bytes) and myfile2 (20 bytes) from stdio and regenerate the stream on the
destination to send out through the named pipe /tmp/mypipe on the server at 10.0.0.2. Transfer at 100 Mbps.
cat sourcefile | ascp -l 100m --mode=send --user=username --host=10.0.0.2
stdio-tar:// stdio-tar:////tmp/pipe
