Re: Using FTP from the command line

I am getting more comfortable on the command line and I use FTP there

But how can I 'ls' and 'pwd' on the _local_ box while I am in FTP
mode? Note that I cannot use a graphical FTP client for this project,
as the machine has no X. Thanks.

Hi Dotan,

I'd recommend the package ncftp which has the commands lls (list local files)
and lpwd (local working directory).

HTH,

Gavin.
