Re: Using FTP from the command line

I am getting more comfortable on the command line and I use FTP there
often. However, I have one issue with it: How can one browse the local
filesystem while in FTP mode? All I could find is lcd, for 'local cd'.
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.

You can launch any command from the ftp command line by prepending an
exclamation mark (shell escape), e.g. !ls or !pwd. Or try one of the
more powerful ftp clients (I prefer ncftp).
