The remote lename is the name of a le in the remote w

In that case, ftp copies the le to the local working directory and gives it
the same le name as the remote name . If the le is in another directory
on the remote host, remote lename is the absolute or relative path for
that le. The ftp program copies the le to a le name with the same
path on your lo cal system. (For example, get /user/doc/ lename ).
If there is no matching path, ftp gives you a message, \ No such file
or directory ". If the destination le already exists, ftp overwrites its
contents with the contents of the remote le.
