It allows you to send and receive files +between two computers. There is the FTP server and the FTP client. We discuss the client +in this section.</p> + +<p>For the curious, the “client” is you. The “server” is the +computer that answers your FTP request and lets you login. You will download files from +and upload files to the server. The client cannot accept FTP connections, it can only +connect to servers.</p> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN4871" name="AEN4871">13.9.1 <tt +class="COMMAND">ftp</tt></a></h2> + +<p>To connect to an FTP server, simply run the <tt class="COMMAND">ftp</tt>(1) command +and specify the host:</p> + +<table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"> +<tr> +<td> +<pre class="SCREEN"> +<samp class="PROMPT">%</samp> <kbd class="USERINPUT">ftp <hostname> [port]</kbd> +</pre> +</td> +</tr> +</table> + +<p>If the host is running an FTP server, it will ask for a username and password. You can +log in as yourself or as “anonymous”. Anonymous FTP sites are very popular +for software archives. For example, to get Slackware Linux via FTP, you must use +anonymous FTP.</p> + +<p>Once connected, you will be at the <var class="LITERAL">ftp></var> prompt. There +are special commands for FTP, but they are similar to other standard commands.
