list of commands for ftp

[Shivkumar]

Hi,

I want to know the list of ftp commands for local and remote hosts. I mean once we have ftp'ed to remote host then wants to know various commands at source and destination host available from "ftp" prompt.

E.g. $ftp> lcd /home/sksonkar/rose/
changes directory to /home/sksonkar/rose

Wants to know more such commands ?

Thanks,
Shiv

Shiv,
or use good old man:

man ftp

It also gives the full list of commands, with additional information

Shiv,

You can use the help available at the ftp prompt. Do ftp and then at the ftp prompt
ftp>help
! debug mget put size
$ dir mkdir pwd status
account disconnect mls quit struct
append form mode quote system
ascii get modtime recv sunique
bell glob mput reget tenex
binary hash newer rstatus trace
bye help nmap rhelp type
case idle nlist rename user
cd image ntrans reset umask
cdup lcd open restart verbose
chmod ls prompt rmdir ?
close macdef proxy runique
cr mdelete sendport send
delete mdir passive site

Then do
ftp>help commandname
e.g.
ftp>help reset
reset clear queued command replies

Many ftp commands are common to all flavors of fpt *BUT* some commands are defined by the remote site (the ftpd daemon for Unix systems). And some server (ftpd) commands may be restricted such as "site" and "quote". Use the command: rhelp

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom Shiv,

Are you planning on implementing chroot on your ftp daemon?

If so, you would need to have local commands that ftp provides such a ls in the home direcotry.

The actual command provided vary from ftp daemon to ftp daemon. The help command does show whats relavent to wu-ftpd, which is the default that ships with HP-UX.
