How to move a file in ftp command to other location?
hi,

when i do ftp from unix to laptop which is running a windows os, it lands in a root folder.
can i move a file from this root ftp folder to any other location in my laptop
say , c:\files\ folder?

i used rename command inside ftp , but it says incorrect parameter.

Yes. Use the CD command.

If you are using GET (i.e because you're connecting from Windows to Unix), then use the LCD command to change the local working directory.

i am connecting as an anonymous user from unix to windows.

the below command works properly
this below command was typed soon after log in. so it displays the root directory.

Code:
ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.

but when i try to change the directory using

Code:
ftp> cd C:\
550 The parameter is incorrect.

the above error comes.

Try using cd C:/, or just cd /.

(i.e. with forward slashes, not backslashes)

Code:
ftp> cd C:/
550 The parameter is incorrect.

if i use

ftp> cd /

its successful but its in the same directory(root directory of ftp) from where i am running the command.. i need to change the directory to some other location..
