Use the "put" or "mput" command according to the number of files to be printed.

When one file is printed

ftp> put \path name\file name [option]

Printing from the virtual printer

ftp> put \path name\file name [virtual printer name]

When multiple files are printed

ftp> mput \path name\file name [\path name\file name...] [option]

Follow the procedure below to print using the "ftp" command.
