Examples
Example 24.121. 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.
