ftp
Syntax
ftp
host[port][-b]
Description
Connects to FTP servers for network file transfers.
Options
host
Specifies a server IPv4 address or host name.
port
Specifies a server FTP port.
-b
Enables page break for sub-commands.
Usage
This command launches an interactive shell for network file transfer (FTP) operations. Only IPv4 addresses are supported. Press ESC or Ctrl-C to cancel a file transfer.
You do not need to use
ifconfig
on a network interface if you plan to run
webclient
or
ftp
over the same interface because these interface and IP address settings are automatically selected by the
Pre-Boot Network Settings configured in the System Utilities.
If the interface used by
ftp
and
webclient
happens to be configured by
ifconfig
, that setting is erased and, instead, the System Utilities
Pre-Boot Network Settings menu is applied on the interface when the commands are run.
