Cannot FTP from Unix to Windows

It's doing what's documented.  ftp works on remote system.  Unless the command starts with "l" as in lcd.

Make sure you understand what each command does, especially before doing mass changes.

Right, that way you could possibly do some through analysis of the ftp output and check for errors.

You could also use inside ftp: !rm *
