6.3.5 Executing Host File MGET
Using wild cards (*, ?) and FTP, transfer two or more files at one time
from the host computer built-in hard disk to the Fast data server built-
in ATA card.
Procedure
1 Display the Host Directory screen.
2 Press the operation menu key at the right end of the soft key menu.
3 Press soft key [MGET].
4 Using the MDI keys, enter the name of a file (including wild
cards) on the transfer source host computer built-in hard disk.
[Input format]
<transfer-source-file-name>
5 Press soft key [EXEC].
6 During an MGET operation, MGET blinks at the top of the
screen.
7 To stop MGET, press soft key [STOP].
[Example]
Enter *.* as the file name to transfer all files in the work directory from
the host computer built-in hard disk to the Fast data server built-in ATA
card.
NOTE
1 Wild card interpretation depends on the host computer
specifications.
2 If a work directory on the host computer built-in hard
disk contains a subdirectory, and a wild card that can
represent the subdirectory is used to specify a transfer
source file name, an error may be detected or the files
may be transferred from the subdirectory as directed by
GET, depending on the type of the host computer.
3 If an error occurs, determine the cause of the error by
referring to the Ethernet Error Message screen.
4 A file having the same name as a file for which a
transfer attempt was made is not transferred if it already
exists on the Fast data server built-in ATA card.
5 If the transfer source file name is not in the 8.3 format, it
is converted to an 8.3-format file name automatically in
order to GET the data onto the Fast data server built-in
ATA card. See Subsection 6.1.5, "Hard Disk File
Names," for explanations about the rules for converting
file names to 8.3-format file names.
