    Hi,

    How can I upload 1 file into FTP of a different server via command line?
    Is this possible?

    For example, I have a file /root/file.tar.gz
    From Command line, I need to connect to some other server via FTP and authentication, and upload this file.tar.gz to there.

    Similar as we download using wget, but I need to upload.

    Thanks.

    You could do this with scp (more secure than FTP).

    Code:
    scp /path/to/file [email protected]:/path/to/directory

    Is scp connecting to FTP protocol? Where do I enter password?
    I tried the command, but it just sits there and not doing anything.

    It uses SSH, so make sure SSH is running on the remote server (on port 22), and that the user is allowed to log in using SSH.
