Using raw FTP on Windows
|
|
| Water Cooler v2 2005-08-01, 8:48 pm |
| Can we use Raw FTP commands on Windows? I am running Windows XP Pro
SP2. How do I activate the raw FTP prompt, if there is any such thing?
What I do normally is type FTP on the Windows cmd prompt, but that
activates Microsoft's FTP service, right?

| The command line tools included in Windows is ftp.exe
just go to command prompt and run it, then you can connect to any ftp
server.
Don't get what you mean on 'activates Microsoft's ftp service' ?

you can start ms ftp client typing ftp at command prompt

no ftp command starts ftp client, for starting the ftp service you must
typing net start msftpsvc at command prompt

the windows ftp client supports literal ftp commands. after you run ftp.exe
and get connected to your ftp server, simply preface any raw command you
want to send with the text 'literal':
C:\temp>ftp ftp.microsoft.com
Connected to ftp.microsoft.com.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
User (ftp.microsoft.com none)): ftp
331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.
Password:
230-Welcome to ftp.microsoft.com. Please also visit
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads.
230 Anonymous user logged in.
ftp> literal LIST
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /bin/ls.....
hope this helps,
Mark
