## Upload a File

Upload a file to the FTP server providing you have relevant permissions. The first argument after `--put` will be the location of the file on your local machine to upload. The second argument determines the path and filename:

```bash
nxc ftp <ip> -u <username> -p <password> --put <local-file> <remote-path>
```

Expected Results:

```bash
nxc ftp 10.10.176.246 -u frank -p D2xc9CgD --put test.txt test.txt
