Have you find upload file using your FTP client extremely slow? Do you interested to use FTP command line instead? Useful to impress girls with CLI skills :p. This is a visual guide of how to do just about that. Here is the scenario, I would like to upload a file C:\Users\Dean\Desktop\temp\Nelson2002.pdf.

Step 1: Open up Command Prompt

Open up a Command Prompt (that’s in you Start –> Accessories folder), find where the file is using the “cd” command

Step 2: Enter FTP CLI mode

Enter ftp mode, just by typing FTP into your command prompt.

Step 3: Connect to Your Server

You will need to know your username and password before doing this step. If you do, you can use the “open” command connect to it

Step 4: Upload The File

There is a command called “put”, you can use that.

If you still remember the Step 1, you were actually in the correct file position. Otherwise, you can do: put c:\your\file\path\Nelson2002.pdf
