The man page of "ftp" says the command syntax is "ftp <options> host", it also says "open host [port]" on the ftp> command interpreter wil open a connection to the host.
the lynx man page says the syntax is "lynx [options] [path or URL]", and once inside lynx you can see " '?' for help " on the screen. |

ftp <address of server you want to connect to> [enter] That will connect you to the ftp server and then you use the different ftp commands from there. dir, put, get, mput, mget, and many more. lynx http://<web page address here> [enter] that will start lynx and go to the web page you specified. read the man page for lynx for more info on how to use it and navigate pages. |
