I need to copy a file over SFTP to a specific directory. I use LFTP because this connection requires an IP6 mDNS name.



lftp sftp://admin:password123@serial.local -e "put file.txt; bye"


This works, but the file ends up in /home/admin



I want the file to end up in /home/admin/upload



Can I somehow specify the destination directory? I'd be happy to use an additional command to do so, but it must be scripted with lftp/sftp

          Perhaps all you need is an additional command:



          lftp sftp://admin:password123@serial.local -e "cd upload; put file.txt; bye"

          • That works. You know I've been having a long day when I can't figure that out on my own. Thanks mate!

          • Glad it worked; I'm not an lftp user, but saw that -e appeared to take multiple commands.

          • Good find. LFTP is pretty cool. It's one of the only CLI utilities in OSX that can resolve an IPv6 mdns name.
