You can use any FTP client (such as FileZilla) to access your server and list the current directories to see if the directory in question already exists, or use the command to list (ls) as per the tutorial on this page.

mput is an undocumented alias to put. If you have issues with mput, you should consider using rsync over ssh.

sftp> mput file1 file2
But it is taking file1 as source file and file2 as destination file path.
But i need to upload file1 and file2 to remote server in a single command.

Using MPUT you can upload multiple files from a local directory to a remote directory. Are you trying to upload or download the files? To download multiple files from a remote directory to a local directory you can use MGET.

Actually I tried with mput command . But it is taking the first argument after mput as source file and second argument as destination file.
Example:
sftp> mput
It is trying to copy file1 to file2 . This is happening only in sftp and it is working fine when using ftp.
can someone please help me to solve using sftp.

The prompt is without color and always “sftp>” no matter what server you are connecting to. Thanks.
