Using Command Line FTP

While not a very powerful tool, Windows includes some basic command line FTP functionality.

If you'd like to try it out, go to a command prompt and type in ftp. You can learn what the FTP commands are by typing in help at the FTP prompt (or, help followed by another command for detailed information).

To connect to an FTP server, type ftp followed by the site address. For example, ftp ftp.ftpplanet.com would connect you to our FTP site.

Hi Talbot: You would need to contact the FTP server administrator to provide your password to you.
