If the server isnt setup already for some type of file transfer, that means the admins dont want it to be able to do that. And I certainly dont want to help you do something the admins have decided you shouldnt do.

If you have some legit purpose for doing this, just call up the admin and ask for secure shell access, there are secure file transfer capabilities built into that.

If you are able to log in via ftp, the following should help a bit for uploading files.

I see the tutorial link you were given doesnt include the put command.

If you need to upload a file there are at least 2 commands to use. one is

put

the other is

mput

so if you wanted to upload lamer.txt you would type this after connected and logged in to the server via ftp

put lamer.txt

if you need to upload multiple files, you can use wildcards with the command mput

so, you could type

mput *.*

and it would upload all files in the directory you started the command line ftp app from.

same goes with get, if you need to get multiple files, you can use mget.

With both of those commands, you need to make sure that it will not prompt you for each file name, you can toggle this function on and off by typing

prompt

There should be some reply text letting you know whether it works or not.
