vsftpd client commands???

Hey all, anyone know of any good sites with client side explanations of commands. for instance how to use "!" with commands, like "!cd" to change directories of the local machine to "put" files on the ftp server???

THanks so much!!

that'll depend on the ftp client you use, and the man page usually has good information.

type "help" on the ftp prompt

blizunt7 · 10-08-2004, 01:33 PM

help does not help. Let me explain.
On my windows machine, I ftp into my linux box (FC1).
I type the command "!cd" to display my local directory on my windows machine, which is currently
C:\Documents and Settings\Josh
I want to change this directory to navigate around my windows machine to find files to "put" onto my ftp server.

Using "!" to navigate my local machine, however i cannot do
ftp> !cd Windows

to change my local directory to windows, or any other directory i specifiy, this is my issue. THanks again

There's some documentation on the command line ftp client in the Windows help file.
Though I havent read it before, because I thought the commands displayed in "help" were straight forward enough.
