ftp - File Transfer Protocol client

Format
ftp remote-computer
Summary

ftp is the standard ftp client that comes with linux. I recommend installing something better (like ncftp). But I'll include it here because it's a standard.. It's always there.. Ftp is interactive once it's connected to a host.

Interactive commands
!             escape to a shell on you local system. Use ^D to return to ftp.
binary     set the file transfer type to binary (you must do this if the files you want to download are non ASCII)
cd,         change directory
close,     close the connection but not ftp
dir/ls,      list the files in the current directory
get          remote-file [local-file], download remote-file into local if specified.
mget       remote-file-list, Allows you to get multiple files (and directories) from the host. You can use wildcards
put          local-file, puts local-file to the current directory on the host
mput       local-file-list, Same as mget only the other way.
help,       display a list of available commands
