Notes:

• Contact AMT Software for the current password for the ftp site for AMT. The password changes periodically so make sure you have the current password.

• The 'bin' command specifies a binary transfer. This is normally what you will want to use when sending large data files such as ExpertCAD or AutoCAD drawing (.ddd, .dxf, *.dwg) files.

• When using the 'put' command to send the file, wrap the name of the file in double quotes as shown above if the file name has one or more space characters. If there are no spaces in the file name, the double quotes are not needed.

• Consider using FileZilla to send files to the AMT ftp site. You may find it easier and more convenient. You can download it here.

Notes:

• Contact AMT Software for the current password for the ftp site for AMT. The password changes periodically so make sure you have the current password.

• The 'bin' command specifies a binary transfer. This is normally what you will want to use when retrieving large data files such as an ExpertCAD installation file in .zip format.

• The 'cd' command changes the directory. Typically the file you are interested in will be in a directory (folder) so you will want to go to that directory to get the file.

• The 'dir' command lists the contents of the directory so you can make sure the file you need is there.

• The 'get' command starts the download of the file name you specify. File names are case sensitive so type in the same name as the 'dir' command showed.

• When using the 'get' command to send the file, wrap the name of the file in double quotes as shown above if the file name has one or more space characters. If there are no spaces in the file name, the double quotes are not needed.
