Usage Guidelines
If the local file name is not specified, the downloaded file is saved using the original name from the file on the remote FTP server.
The get command supports resumable download. When you use the get command to re-download an incompletely downloaded file, the system automatically compares the local file size with the file size on the FTP server. If the local file size is smaller than the file size on the FTP server, the system asks you to determine whether to resume the download or overwrite the existing file.
If the local file name is the same as the remote file name on the FTP server but the two files are of different contents, the system still asks you to determine whether to resume the download or overwrite the existing file, so long as the local file is smaller than the remote file. In this situation, choose to overwrite the existing file or use the local-filename command to rename the file to be downloaded.
The file system has a restriction on the number of files in the root directory. Therefore, if more than 50 files exist in the root directory, creating new files in this directory may fail.
