FTP - Upload files without folder structure

#ftp #webdev #discuss #help

Hi all

previously apologize if my question is not related to programming.

case:
I have some files. all divided into several month folders.
I plan to upload files via FTP, but without the folder structure. inside the FPT folder will only have files that exist in some local folders.

src :

MyFolder 

# Jan - File Jan 1 - File Jan 2 # Feb - File Feb 1 - File Feb 2 # Mar - File Mar 1 - File mar 2 # Apr - File Apr 1 - File Arp 2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Dest / FTP Folder:

MyFolder 

- File Jan 1 - File Jan 2 - File Feb 1 - File Feb 2 - File Mar 1 - File mar 2 - File Apr 1 - File Arp 2
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

is there an FTP app that can do that?

Something like for f in $(find . -type f); do curl -T $f ftp://ftp.my-site.example/com/my-path/ --user jeff:jeffspassword; done would probably do what you want if you absolutely must, but like Dian says... don't.

You want rsync. ftp should be avoided in general as it's insecure -- use sftp or, even better, scp.

for now, I use WInSCP.
it looks like there is no "rsync" feature.
