Using UNIX Commands to Transfer Files and Directories

You can use UNIX commands to transfer files or an entire directory tree to the doc repository.

Transferring an Entire Directory Tree

The following technique will transfer an entire directory tree to the doc repository. The following example demonstrates how to move a FrameMaker source tree, though it would also work for an HTML tree.

1. Using telnet, log in to boreal as fscott:

   $ telnet boreal.divine.com
   Trying 199.170.183.18...
   Connected to boreal.divine.com.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   
   
   SunOS 5.7
   
   login: fscott
   Password: 
   Last login: Wed Sep 26 13:38:18 from boreal.divine
   

2. Using the cd command, change to the target directory, for example:

   $ cd /udir/fscott/BooksInProgress_FramemakerSources/ContentServer3.6.3/DevGuide
   

3. Using the rm command, delete the target directory and all its subdirectories, for example:

   $ rm -fr /udir/fscott/BooksInProgress_FramemakerSources/ContentServer3.6.3/DevGuide
   

   NOTE: Be real careful with the rm -fr command; make sure you don't accidentally delete the wrong files.

4. Using the cp command, copy your FrameMaker sources to the target directory, for example:

   $ cp -r /udir/bob/mybook /udir/fscott/BooksInProgress_FramemakerSources/ContentServer3.6.3/DevGuide
   

5. Using the exit command, end your telnet session, for example:

   $ exit
   

Using UNIX Commands to Transfer a File

The following technique shows how to transfer a single file (in this case, a PDF file) to UNIX:

1. Using telnet, log in to boreal as fscott:

   $ telnet boreal.divine.com
   Trying 199.170.183.18...
   Connected to boreal.divine.com.
   Escape character is '^]'.
   
   
   SunOS 5.7
   
   login: fscott
   Password: 
   Last login: Wed Sep 26 13:38:18 from boreal.divine
   

2. Using the cp command, copy your PDF file to the target directory, for example:

   $ cp /udir/bob/MyGuide.pdf /udir/fscott/BooksInProgress_FramemakerSources/ContentServer3.6.3
   

3. Using the exit command, end your telnet session, for example:

   $ exit
