Use ncftpput instead of ftp for recursive uploads

Problem

I came across this problem when i had the need to transfer a Wordpress site from a server to an other. So all the folder (included hidden file) needed to be recurively transferred.

Ftp command is too limited and does not support recursive upload, so the solution is to use ncftpput command.

How to use it

ncftpput -R -v -u "[email protected]" ftp.mydomain.blog /public_html/ /home/yuri/Downloads/site/

• -R recursive
• -v verbose
• -u user
• ftp.mydomain.blog ftp host
• /public_html/ remote folder where files will be uploaded
• /home/yuri/Downloads/site/ local folder (source)
