how to send file and folder to ftp server from kali #ftp #server #ftpserver

 To send a file to an FTP server from Kali Linux, you can use several methods. Here are two common ones:

Sending Filers

### Using the `ftp` Command-Line Tool


1. **Open a terminal.**


2. **Connect to the FTP server:**

   ```bash

   ftp 10.71.77.4 2221

   ```

   Replace `10.71.77.4` with the FTP server's IP address and `2221` with the port number.


3. **Log in with your credentials.**

   You will be prompted to enter your username and password.


4. **Navigate to the directory on the FTP server where you want to upload the file:**

   ```ftp

   cd /path/on/ftp/server

   ```

   Replace `/path/on/ftp/server` with the actual path where you want to upload the file.


5. **Upload the file:**

   ```ftp

   put /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/your_file.txt

   ```

   Replace `/home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/your_file.txt` with the path to your local file.


6. **Close the connection:**

   ```ftp

   bye

   ```


### Using `curl` Command-Line Tool


1. **Open a terminal.**


2. **Use the `curl` command to upload the file:**

   ```bash

   curl -T /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/your_file.txt ftp://10.71.77.4:2221/path/on/ftp/server/ --user your_username:your_password

   ```

   - `-T /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/your_file.txt`: Specifies the local file to upload.

   - `ftp://10.71.77.4:2221/path/on/ftp/server/`: Specifies the FTP server address, port, and remote directory.

   - `--user your_username:your_password`: Specifies the FTP credentials.


### Example


If you want to upload a file named `example.txt` from `/home/maverick/Desktop/Folder` to the root directory of the FTP server:


- **Using `ftp`:**

  ```bash

  ftp 10.71.77.4 2221

  # Login with credentials

  cd /path/on/ftp/server

  put /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/example.txt

  bye

  ```


- **Using `curl`:**

  ```bash

  curl -T /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder/example.txt ftp://10.71.77.4:2221/ --user your_username:your_password

  ```

Sending Folder

To send a folder from your Kali Linux machine to an FTP server, you can use several tools and methods. Here's a detailed guide for some common approaches:


### Method 1: Using `lftp`


`lftp` is a powerful FTP client that supports recursive uploads of directories.


1. **Install `lftp` if it's not already installed:**

   ```bash

   sudo apt-get install lftp

   ```


2. **Use `lftp` to upload the folder recursively:**

   ```bash

   lftp -u your_username:your_password -e "mirror -R /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder /path/on/ftp/server; quit" ftp://10.71.77.4:2221

   ```

   - `-u your_username:your_password`: Your FTP username and password.

   - `mirror -R /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder /path/on/ftp/server`: Uploads the folder `/home/maverick/Desktop/Folder` to `/path/on/ftp/server` on the FTP server.

   - `quit`: Exits `lftp` after the upload completes.


### Method 2: Using `ncftp`


`ncftp` provides another way to upload directories recursively.


1. **Install `ncftp` if it's not already installed:**

   ```bash

   sudo apt-get install ncftp

   ```


2. **Use `ncftpput` to upload the folder:**

   ```bash

   ncftpput -R -u your_username -p your_password -P 2221 10.71.77.4 /path/on/ftp/server /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder

   ```

   - `-R`: Recursive upload.

   - `-u your_username -p your_password`: Your FTP username and password.

   - `-P 2221`: Port number.

   - `10.71.77.4`: FTP server IP address.

   - `/path/on/ftp/server`: Remote directory on the FTP server.

   - `/home/maverick/Desktop/Folder`: Local folder to upload.


### Method 3: Using `curl` with `tar`


If you prefer not to install additional tools, you can compress the folder into a single file and then upload it.


1. **Compress the folder into a tarball:**

   ```bash

   tar -czvf Folder.tar.gz -C /home/maverick/Desktop Folder

   ```

   This creates a compressed file `Folder.tar.gz`.


2. **Upload the tarball using `curl`:**

   ```bash

   curl -T /home/maverick/Desktop/Folder.tar.gz ftp://10.71.77.4:2221/path/on/ftp/server/ --user your_username:your_password

   ```


3. **Extract the tarball on the FTP server (if you have shell access):**

   If you have SSH access to the server, you can extract the tarball:

   ```bash

   tar -xzvf Folder.tar.gz

   ```


Choose the method that best fits your situation. If you encounter any issues or have specific requirements, let me know!
