Which Meterpreter file-system commands allow transferring files between the attacker and the target?

• A. ls / cat
• B. pwd / getwd
• C. delete / remove
• D. download / upload

Answer: (D)

Transferring files with Meterpreter uses commands specifically designed to move data between the target and your machine. To pull a file from the target to your own system, you use the download command. To push a file from your system to the target, you use the upload command. Other common file operations—like listing directories, printing the current working directory, or deleting files—operate on the remote filesystem or modify it, but they don’t perform cross-system transfers. So the commands that enable transferring files between attacker and target are download and upload.
