Downloading Files with FTP Commands

✍: Guest

A

How we can put some files on the FTP server to allow other users to download them.
Copy files to the FTP server directory in a command window:
>copy ftp.html c:\inetpub\ftproot
1 file(s) copied.

>copy index.html c:\inetpub\ftproot
1 file(s) copied.

>copy reference.html c:\inetpub\ftproot
1 file(s) copied.

Download them with the FTP client in a command window:

>ftp localhost
Connected to localhost.
