Overview


File Directories

Before you do the sending, you might want to change the directory of the file. It involves two directories: the local directory on the machine running WAC Clients (WACTERM or WACSSH), and the remote directory on the server.

Note: To change the directory of the file, you need to press "Ctrl+}" to temporily leave your terminal session and shift to the command screen of WAC Clients.

When you do file transferring, the file is looked up in the sending machine's current directory and will be placed in the receiving machine's current directory.

  • To change the local directory, use "LCD" command, for examples:

    WACSSH> lcd mydir

    If you want to see the current local directory, just type "LCD":

    WACSSH> lcd

  • To change the remote directory, use "CD" command, for example:

    WACSSH> cd mydir

    If you want to see the current remote directory, just type "CD":

    WACSSH> cd

Note: For details about the commands, please see "WAC Clients Commands".

If you don't specify the file directories, WAC Clients will set the local current directory as the current directory when you run the WAC Client applications, and WAC Server will set the remote current directory as the user's initial directory (see "The InitDir Panel" in "User Preference" section for details), or set the installation directory of WAC Server in case of no user initial directory available.

When you run "WAC Explorer" (WACEXPLORER.EXE), it automatically set the remote current directory to the directory currently listed in "WAC Explorer", this will give you much convenience to send files to server when you run "WAC Explorer" on the server, just explore to the directory you want to place the received file, and issue "SEND" in the command screen.

However, if you don't want the file to be placed in WAC Explorer's current directory, you can always use "CD" command to override the remote current directory before you send.
