Why not just use something like Cyberduck?
Sure, you can do it through the terminal, but why would you want to? It's a pain in the ass if you ask me.
Type "man ftp" in Terminal.
But the Mac has an FTP file system built in does not not? So any normal commands on local files should work on remote FTP servers too.
To fab5freddy:
Isn't it funny that people won't simply answer the question? I know: "Teach a man to fish". But just give the dang answer, OK?
Yes, I know it's too old, but someone has to stand up to these "Look it up" answers. It seems pedantic and pompous.
New question under same topic:
I'm teaching myself bash, ftp, ssh, etc. I have been able to ftp various servers and 'get' and 'put' test files. My hang up is trying to connect to another computer. I have been testing my skills on my gf mac. I have done all i know to do to ensure that both computers and connect. i.e. turning off the firewall, enabling passive ftp, checking remote manage/login. But when i try to connect, it tries, and the times out.
ideas?
Do you have any devices doing network address translation (NAT) between the computers, for example, an ADSL modem?
Is the IP address of either host a private IP address?
No i don't believe so. I have a router on my end, ISP, then a router on her end.
And as for the IP, i have tried both. One was a personal address like you would set up on a LAN. the other i got from "whatismyip." same result from both. A time out.
... I had remote login and management checked, but i don't believe Web sharing was. I'll try that on my next attempt.
