How to get file From FTP on my Shell

 ftp ardsolution.co.cc

This command will attempt to connect to the ftp server at abc.xyz.edu. If it succeeds, it will ask you to log in using a username and password. Public ftp servers often allow you to log in using the username "anonymous" and your email address as password. Once you are logged in you can get a list of the available ftp commands using the help function:

 ftp> help

This lists the commands that you can use to show the directory contents, transfer files, and delete files.

 ftp> ls

This command prints the names of the files and subdirectories in the current directory on the remote computer.

 ftp> cd customers

This command changes the current directory to the subdirecotry "customers", if it exists.

 ftp> cd ..

Changes the current directory to the parent direcotry.

 ftp> lcd images

Changes the current directory on the local computer to "images", if it exists.

 ftp> ascii

Changes to "ascii" mode for transferring text files.

 ftp> binary

Changes to "binary" mode for transferring all files that are not text files.

 ftp> get image1.jpg

Downloads the file image1.jpg from the remote computer to the local computer. Warning: If there already is file with the same name it will be overwritten.

 ftp> put image2.jpg
