FTP help
I was in cmd prompt last night in this system I have the log in names and passwords for ftp connection but after i disconnected from it. I cannot reconnect to their server or any other ftp server. I go into cmd and do ftp then o to connect and when I enter an addy it just goes right back to ftp….. what is up with that?
Im asking how to get my ftp to work again…. after i am in ftp and enter an address instead of connecting or telling me its an invallid addy it just directs me right back into ftp without doing what its supposed to. I dont need to know how to use ftp i know how. Point i need help in is finding out why the shiz wont work!!! lol
Haha from what I read (and actually understood) it sounds like you think that ftp is like your web browser. You log in. Come back later to the site and your still logged in because it remembered your password/cookies/stuff. Unfortunately I don't think ftp works that way. Maybe some ftp client's perhaps?
its hard to explain but ill try.. I am in command prompt… I type ftp then im at the ftp prompt I hit o command to connect then I type in my target press enter and it goes right back to ftp.
I have also tried the disconnect command to make sure I am not connected to anything.
It was working fine the other day it just went loco on me.
Ohhh u mean in CMD.exe ftp
C:\ftp - or a alt way to do this - C:\ftp what.com
ftp> open what.com
Connected to what.com.
220-Microsoft FTP Service
220 IIS405
User (what.com:(none)): Username
331 Password required for Username
Password: Password
230 User Username logged in.
ftp>
ftp> is what it will always go back to its just the identifier to test to see if your connected type
ftp> pwd
tells you the remote directory your in
Now if your connected to a ftp currently and want to disconnect type
ftp> disconnect
now if that didn't work just type quit and it will kill all the ftp connections and end the ftp program
P.S. Its really annoying that you make 3 - 4 posts in a row. Your taking up space in a sql server with all the extra posts

Ok i did pwd and it said not connected. ftp is doing the same thing after I type in the target it goes directly back to ftp waiting for a command.
