They happen 'automatically' when we vist an FTP site.

ie: Visit ftp://ftp.lineo.com/

These 4 commands are sent via 'built-in ftp'
1) USER   (anonymous)
2) PASS   (your email address)
3) TYPE A (set transfer type to ASCII)
4) LIST   (to list the directory contents of /)

Now, link to the "pub" directory.

1) USER   (anonymous)
2) PASS   (your email address)
3) CWD    (change directories to /pub/)
4) TYPE A (set transfer type to ASCII)
5) LIST   (to list the directory contents of /pub/)

Link to 'README'

1) USER   (anonymous)
2) PASS   (your email address)
3) TYPE A (set transfer type to ASCII)
4) RETR   (to download README)


Link on-through to....

ftp://ftp.lineo.com:21/pub/downloads/smea/sharp_lh79520_embedix_bdk.iso

1) USER   (anonymous)
2) PASS   (your email address)
3) TYPE I (set transfer type to BINARY)
4) RETR   (to download the ISO CDROM image)
