If only one parameter is specified uploads the file to remote working directory. If more parameters are specified, all except the last one specify set of files to upload. The last parameter specifies target remote directory and optionally operation mask to store file(s) under different name. Destination directory must end with slash. Filename can be replaced with Windows wildcard1 to select multiple files. To upload more files to current working directory use ./ as the last parameter.

Use option command to set transfer options.

See also synchronize if you need to transfer modified files only.
