Help! Newbie in the house!!!

Ok i was reading a book (sad) and it said to type in 'ftp' in Start/Run. I did but I know no commands for it. Can someone help me??? I also typed in 'telnet' and I know no commands for that either so I would like help on that...

Thanx

when you issue the command "ftp" you must issue a hostname (or its IP address). If you did not issued the hostname, you can use the " open " command inside ftp. When you get the prompt, type:

ftp> open <hostname>

then you will be asked for an username and a password.

At ftp´s prompt you can type " help ":

ftp> help
Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:

! help recv
$ image reinitialize
account lcd remotehelp
append local rename
.
.
.
glob quote ?
hash record
ftp>


If ou use unix, the better way is do use man ftp to know the commands.

telnet is similar to ftp. Try out.

Hi Nutcracker,

Does the ftp server that you're connecting to issue a greeting like below?
