ftp going crazy

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Dear Friends,

I am having a crazy issue with ftp.
I am doing 'mput' of 4 files (z1, z2, z3, z4) as below. But ftp transfers only every alternative file !! - ie; If I do mput z* for above, it sends only z1 and z3. Note that all the files are same and I tried this for several dummy files. All works the same way.

Any idea what is going wrong here.
Please help me I am also going crazy with my ftp. Please.

ftp> mput z*
mput z1? y
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for z1.
netout: write returned 0?
226 Transfer complete.
mput z2? y

use "prompt" before issuing the "mput" command so that you will no longer be asked for confirmation.

this should look like:

ftp> prompt
ftp> mput z*
ftp>bye

hope this helps :cool:

It has not helped.

Any idea with this below message :
netout: write returned 0?

I believe this it telling you...that you are transferring and zero byte file...
