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

-jacques.
