One good thing came out of this “catastrophic hard disk failure”. I have found God and He goes
by the name mput. I would be lost without Him. If you’ve been following my blog for a while,
you’ll have heard me mention that I update this blog by manually uploading the files via telnet to
my uni’s Unix server and then from there to my hosting company. I have always used put to
transfer my files and that requires you to type the each and every file name after put. Due
to the large amounts of files I have to transfer today, I decided to dust off some Unix books
(actually I just did a Google search) and find out how to transfer files using wildcards and I have
been shown the light! Oh, Hallelujah, mput is almighty indeed.
