Parameters
remotefile: Specifies the name of the remote file on the FTP server.
localfile: Specifies the name of the local file to be updated.
Usage guidelines
You can perform this operation only after you log in to the FTP server.
If the local file does not exist, this command downloads the file from the FTP server and saves it locally.
If the remote file on the FTP server is not newer than the local file, this command does not update the local file.
Examples
# Update the local file with the file a.txt on the FTP server.
