FTP Commands by NightSoft Introduction The FTP is a service that has been around since 1973 when it was finally (after a lot of proposed ideas about File Transfer Mechanisms) completed. The main objectives of the FTP are (as defined in the Rfc 959) 1) Promote sharing of file (computer programs or data) 2) to shield an user for variation in file storage systems among hosts 3) to transfer data reliably and effitiently. FTP FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol, this protocol runs on port 21 and allows users with valid accounts to upload and download files. This protocol was designed thinking in a Client/server model, so the user would be able to use it from a terminal. To use it the User invoke an FTP client, just typing 'FTP' (Windows Users should type 'FTP' at the Command Prompt of in the < Run > window at < Start > (easy heh... :) ) ...yeah windows has it... you didn't know..?? dont worry there a bunch of guys out there just like you...they dont even know this exist. OK..cool you found the 'FTP>' now you must get an FTP Server...go to google and search for one ..i dont know.. heh..?? what did i just heard ?? you dont know what google is... damn..!! you are a special case of Lameness < j/k :) >. KOOL...you found an FTP address...ok To connect to a FTP-server you must type 'open ' or 'FTP ' (with out the quotes you lamer.. j/k :)) thats all you must know by now...learn more before you continue....so go on reading and don't close that FTP session...you will use it later. This server you just connected (the Address you just got... homie), is responsible for verifying the autenticity of the users who connect to the system, perform the instructions requested by the users and enforcing the security of the system. The commands allow you to browse in the remote system and copy, delete or create files, but only if you have granted access. To start an FTP session you must have a registered NAME and Password. In Public FTP-Servers the Admins create an Anonymous Account. To access the server just type 'Anonymous' or 'Guest' when it ask you for a login name, then the server (if works) will ask you to type any stupid shit, like your mail (try to fake one)....some servers will ask you for a VALID mail,(oops now you can't fake it...put someones mail address instead) some Anonymous servers don't even need a password. ok...now i will list some of the FTP commands... if you wanna start to use that FTP session...it will be great if you learn this commands and practice with them ! - Escape to the shell ? - Print local help information Append - Append to a file Ascii - Set ascii tranfer type (For text) Bell - Beep when command completed Binary - Set binary transfer type (For Bynary files....programs, ZipFiles ....) bye - Terminate Ftp session and exit cd - Change remote working directory (on the server) Close - Terminate Ftp session Delete - Delete remote file Debug - Toggle debigging mode dir - List contents of remote directory get - Receive file glob - Toggle metacharacter expansion of local file names hash - Toggle printing '#' for each buffer transferred lcd - Change local working directory literal - Send arbitrary Ftp command ls - List contents of remote directory mdelete - Delete multiple files mdir - List content of multiple remote directories mget - Get multiple files mkdir - Make directory on the remote machine mls - List contents of multiple remote directories mput - Send multiple files open - Connect to remote tftp prompt - Force interactive prompting on multiple commands put - Send one file pwd - Print working directory on remote machine quit - Terminate ftp session and exit quote - Send arbitrary ftp command recv - Receive file remotehelp - Get help from remote server rename - Rename file rmdir - Remove directory on the remote machine Send - Send one file status - Show current status trace - Toggle packed tracing type - Set file transfer type user - Send new user information Verbose - Toggle verbose mode Now you know what some commands do...
