What have you tried? What part of theforstatement and the*operator confuse you? Can you be more specific about what you know and what you don't know about the shell?

Just came across this -- a warning to anyone using this as a reference -- the answers do not handle filenames with spaces properly... refer to stackoverflow.com/questions/7039130/… for a better solution!!!

If the current directory happens to be empty, this outputs "put *" rather than correctly outputting nothing. Can it be fixed?

@ThisClark - True. But being generous to myself (!), one could argue that from a *nix perspective, a folder is is a file. (Possibly that's what I was thinking when I wrote the answer 7 years ago, but who knows...)

For all folders and files in the current directory
for file in *; do

done
Or, if you want to include subdirectories and files only:
find . -type f -exec echo put {} ;
If you want to include the folders themselves, take out the -type f part.

If you don't have any files, then instead of printing * we can do this.
format=*.txt
for i in $format;
do
if [[ "$i" == "$format" ]]
then
echo "No Files"
else
echo "file name $i"
fi
done

One more alternative using ls and sed:
$ ls -1 <dir> | sed -e 's/^/put /'
and using ls and xargs:
$ ls -1 <dir> | xargs -n1 -i%f echo 'put %f'

+1, but -1 is not needed and you can do sed -e 's/^/put /'

@WilliamPursell Thanks, I've updated my response. Somehow, I misunderstood and made the braces and the dollar sign part of the solution. Also, I'ved another solution withxargsandecho, but thesedone is still more concise.

this will work also recursively if you have any sub directories and files inside them:
find . -type f|awk -F"/" '{print "put ",$NF}'

If you don't have any files, then instead of printing * we can do this.

One more alternative using ls and sed:
$ ls -1 <dir> | sed -e 's/^/put /'
and using ls and xargs:
$ ls -1 <dir> | xargs -n1 -i%f echo 'put %f'

+1, but -1 is not needed and you can do sed -e 's/^/put /'

@WilliamPursell Thanks, I've updated my response. Somehow, I misunderstood and made the braces and the dollar sign part of the solution. Also, I'ved another solution withxargsandecho, but thesedone is still more concise.

this will work also recursively if you have any sub directories and files inside them:
find . -type f|awk -F"/" '{print "put ",$NF}'

Just came across this -- a warning to anyone using this as a reference -- the answers do not handle filenames with spaces properly... refer to stackoverflow.com/questions/7039130/… for a better solution!!!
