FTP command ?
yesterday i was given an FTP command to use on UNIX Solaris and it was very straight forward and that's probably why i don't remember it, i only remember convoluded things apparently!

but it was something as simple as this:

ftp xyz_abc.com

but that's apparently not it, does anyone know what the command should be?

oh an i also tried ftp ftp.xyz_abc.com and

ftp://xyz_abc.com and about 10 other permutations

thanks for any insights and next time i'm writing everything down immediatlely!

ftp something.example.com
is correct assuming that you want to connect to the system called "something.example.com". That seems to be your problem...you forgot the hostname of the system you want to contact. Well, we don't know it either.
