Jim, there is not much support for viewing local files in ftp. if you enter "?" at the prompt you will get a list of commands some of which start with the letter "l". those, except "ls" and "less" are local commands: lcd, lpage, lpwd. lcd lets you change your local directory, lpage lists a file in the local path, and lpwd tells you your local directory. by local i mean the machine you are ftp'ing from. also, if you enter "?" followed by a command name you will get an explanation. for example: ftp> ? less less view a remote file through your pager
