Help                        MPUT Subcommand - Help                           
                                                                             
MPUT (Send Multiple Files)                                                   
                                                                             
    To send one or more local files (members, save files, or documents       
    for example) and create a corresponding number of remote files with      
    the same name, use the MPUT subcommand in the following format:          
                                                                             
                                                                             
    MPut    { localfile [localfile...]}                                      
                                                                             
                                                                             
    MPut        You can abbreviate subcommands to the most unique series     
                of characters.                                               
                                                                             
    localfile   Specify one or more AS/400 file members, documents, or       
                other local AS/400 files to be transferred to the remote     
                system.  The name given to the file on the remote system     
                is generated automatically by the client.  See the topic     
                  "Default names" for additional information.        
        
    You can use an asterisk to send all the members in a file or all the  
    documents in a folder.  For example, MPUT MYLIB/MYFILE.* transfers    
    all the members of file MYFILE in library MYLIB.                      
                                                                          
        Note:  If the remote file already exists, the contents are        
        replaced by the contents of localfile unless   SUNIQUE is on.     
                                                                          
    The following is an example of the NAMEFMT 0 using the MPUT           
    subcommand:                                                           
                                                                          
        MPUT MYLIB/FILE1.MBR1 MYLIB/FILE1.MBR2                            
                                                                          
    This sends members MBR1 and MBR2 of file FILE1 in library MYLIB to    
    the remote system.                                                    
                                                                          
    The following is an example of the NAMEFMT 1 using the MPUT           
    subcommand:                                                           

         MPUT /QDLS/QIWSOS2/PCSMENU.EXE /QDLS/QIWSOS2/PCSMENU2.EXE   
                                                                     
     This sends document PCSMENU.EXE and document PCSMENU2.EXE from  
     folder QIWSOS2 to the remote system.

      o    FTP file naming
