Hello, The terminal doesn't provide a password field as you are imagining. Basically, you type text at the command prompt and the machine responds. Scrolling text up the screen. Many programs and commands have man pages. They give all the available options so can look daunting. If you run terminal and type man ftp then press the enter key. The man page for ftp will appear. Use VO + up arrow and down to read the page. Press 'q' to quit the man page. A quick look at it suggests you could type:
ftp http://username:[email protected] This is just one option. Providing you know your username and password, host url and any required port information. You can string it together and get it done. If you use the same site and same activity you can automate the process. If you get the right structure but not specified the password. It will prompt you to type it. There's no edit field, it's just there at the prompt. Just type your password and press the enter key, so the machine knows that you have finished. Be aware, that the flags are case sensitive. Thus -p is different to -P. Good luck. Gena Georgina Joyce Applied Psychologist Training and Coaching. Because individuals of groups matter!
