Determine the name of the server you wish yo log in to. Many times, this will be given to you by the person who is receiving or sending the file. For public access FTP sites, you can either search for them through an Internet search engine or 'guess' by replacing the 'www' in a web address with 'ftp.' For instance, you could try 'ftp.aol.com' as opposed to 'www.aol.com.'
Go to the command prompt for your operating system. For Windows, this means opening an MS-DOS window. Type 'ftp
,' where
is the name of the ftp server you are logging into, and press 'Enter.' Enter your username and password where requested. For public access servers, the username will almost always be 'anonymous' and the password your full email address.
Use the command 'dir' to list a directory's contents and 'cd' to change to a different directory until you find the file you want to receive or the directory your wish to transfer a file into.
Use either 'get
' or 'put
' to receive or to send the file.
Type 'bye' when the files have been transferred to end the connection.
