Get IP of FTP Host

All,

This may be very trivial, but I am unaware.

We normally do FTP to hosts with their hostname as follows.

$ ftp c.b.a.com

Now, How do I know the IP address of c.b.a.com?

Thanks,
Rahul.

Why don't you try pinging the host, you will get the IP address of the remote ftp host.

ping c.b.a.com

Try using SCP its faster and secured .. if you use ftp its indirectly ur revealing the password.
