If you need help with command parameters use man

man ftp

I'll help you out this time though..


-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers.
-v Verbose option forces ftp to show all responses from the remote server, as well as report on data transfer statistics.
-n Restrains ftp from attempting €œauto-login€ upon initial connection.

Google is also a useful tool :P
