Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

You can enable the prompt function as required when transmitting files between the FTP client and server.

Precautions

The prompt command can be used when you run the put, mput, get, and mget commands.
The prompt function can be enabled only for confirming service upload and download.
- When you run the put or mput command, the system always overwrites the existing file if the name of the uploaded file is the same as that of an existing file on the FTP server.
- When you run the get or mget command, the system always prompts you whether to overwrite the existing file if the name of the uploaded file is the same as an existing file name in the specified directory.
