Assuming you want to ftp from your box to another box and that an ftp client is installed: Nope.

Code:

ftp some.site.name

Depending on the client used you might be able to set some preferences, but they make life easier, they are not mandatory.

If the site you are trying to reach does not use anonymous logins then you do need a valid login (username and password) on that box.

Do have a look at this page: FTP mini-HOWTO

To install ftp on centos/rhel (as root user):

Code:

yum install ftp

ftp should now be installed and ready to use.

thank you and i install my ftp with that command but when I use (ftp www.freshmeat.net) it shows me (ftp: www.freshmeat.net: Name or service not known)and of course I dont have ping from any site with name
I went throw the way below to config my DNS:
#nano /etc/resolv.conf
and then write two line such as:
nameserver 4.2.2.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8
ctrl+x and then y and then ok

but i still have both ping and ftp problem
is there any thing wrong with this or any thing I should add to my config?

From what you describe in your previous post it looks like you have a network that isn't set up correctly.

You need to post some details in order for us to help you:

- Which CentOS version are you using (# cat /etc/*release* )?

- Are you running CentOS from a virtual machine?

- Can you post the output of the following 2 commands (as root user):

Code:

# system-config-network-cmd -e | grep -v HostsList

# cat /etc/hosts

So, the issue is solved? If so, mark this thread as [SOLVED] (top right hand corner or use the Thread Tools menu).

Did you restart the network after changing the entries? You should.

Posting only part of the output will not help one bit. There's also no output shown for the second command I asked for.

But then again; Who cares if this is solved after all, right?

Can I ajust add that it's worth looking at the lftp command if it's available to you. It's like ftp on steroids. If you ftp a lot to various places it saves a lot of time and effort.
