Examples

Example24.121.Uploading a file to an FTP server

To upload the file virtuoso30.tar.gz to the ftp server ftp.openlinksw.com, one can use:

select ftp_put ('ftp.openlinksw.com', 'user_name', 'password', 'virtuoso30.tar.gz', 'virtuoso30.tar.gz');

This will upload the file that occurs on the local server root directory, and save it to the remote servers root directory.
