FTP software

There are various FTP clients that have graphical interfaces.

Many systems provide a simple FTP client which is used from a command line. For example, to run the built-in Windows FTP client, do Start then Run ..., type ftp into the Open: box, then click on OK. An MS-DOS dialogue box should open with the FTP client running in it.

The ftp> prompt indicates that the FTP client is waiting for a command. Typing help will display a list of commands. Commonly used commands are:

open
open a connection to a remote computer, e.g., open host.name.mcgill.ca
