right. The basics are cd to change directory into the one you want, ls
to list the contents of a directory and get Filename to transfer a
filename from the remote machine to the directory you were in when you
started the ftp command. If you are in a folder but want to move back up
to the parent you do cd .. where period period references the parent
directory. If you don't like the local directory the files are going to
land in you can use the lls and lcd to list the local directory and
change the local directory. If you want to get multiple files you can
use mget and a filename using wildcards such as *.pdf. Some FTP servers
will prompt you to say yes or no for each match. If you don't want that
just type "prompt" and return before doing the mget.

I know that you can do a dir /w for wide i think. You go to the
directory by doing cd "directoryname". For example, "cd Angela".

Hi guys, got a question. I haven't had any great luck with any of the
free Ftp clients as of yet, filezilla doesn't seem tow irk or maybe
I'm missing something on the setup, not sure, cyberduck might work
but I can't seem to get the download to work, but I am able to get
into ftp using terminal. Once I've established a connection, got to a
main directory say for instance books, and then the directory is
divided into letters of the alphabet showing the author's first name,
how do I first navigate to that directory list, and then how do I get
a book from that author's particular listing. I am sort of new, but I
like the terminal approach but just trying to learn. Thanks for any
help. take care and talk to you soon.
