Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively. Click ftp
commands in the Related Topics list for a description of available ftp
subcommands. This command is available only if the TCP/IP protocol has been
installed. Ftp is a service, that, once started, creates a
sub-environment in which you can use ftp commands, and from which you
can return to the Windows 2000 command prompt by typing the quit
subcommand. When the ftp sub-environment is running, it is indicated by
the ftp command prompt. ftp [-v] [-n] [-i] [-d] [-g] [-s:filename]
[-a] [-w:windowsize] [computer] Parameters -v Suppresses display of remote server responses. -n Suppresses autologin upon initial connection. -i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file transfers. -d Enables debugging, displaying all ftp commands passed between the
client and server. -g Disables file name globbing, which permits the use of wildcard characters (*
and ?) in local file and path names. (See the glob command in the online
Command Reference.) -s:filename Specifies a text file containing ftp commands; the commands
automatically run after ftp starts. No spaces are allowed in this
parameter. Use this switch instead of redirection (>). -a Use any local interface when binding data connection. -w:windowsize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096. computer Specifies the computer name or IP address of the remote computer to connect to.
The computer, if specified, must be the last parameter on the line. |
