Connection lost...ftp>

okay i try to use ftp commands as they are listed on the net, e.g. cd, but no matter what commands/combinations of commands i type, i always get the connection lost message. what am i doing wrong? are there any other missions that could help me with this if i were to complete them?

okay, ive gotten into the etc folder, but i dont know what command to use in order to display the contents of passwd

Well that command has been given in the other threads for this challenge. But to reiterate it again here is a hint, It is not a dog. :)
