      Before executing the copy operation for every file in the
      remote default directory, FTP asks, one-by-one, to confirm
      that you want to copy each file.

      To confirm MPUT, MGET, and MDELETE operations, use the FTP
      prompt command before entering the MPUT, MGET, and MDELETE
      commands.
