Hi, there's two pairs of methods which can be used for transfering files:
Client.Receive -or- Client.Put - Transfers a client-side file to the server.
Client.Send -or- Client.Get - Transfers a file onto the client machine from the server.
I'd stick to one matched pair - either Receive with Send, or their synonyms/aliases Put and Get rather than mixing the two.
Historically, Receive and Send were the only two methods available in the early/beta releases of 4.7/5, but were voted counter-intuitive (back-to-front!).
Client.Receive was often thought to mean that the client would receive the file, where actually it's the server that receives it...
Because there could be existing code using them, they couldn't be altered, so the "FTP" standard synonyms Get and Put were added.
I'd suggest using Client.Get & Client.Put as they are probably more obvious in their behaviour, but each to their own!

Don't learn from your own mistakes - it's safer and more entertaining to learn from the mistakes of others!
Just because you can, it doesn't mean you should!

Hi,
I have used these on AIX & Compaq Tru64 systems and they have worked fine so they should be fine for Linux also.
These is nothing documented to say thaty they should not be used on Linux...
