Name
ftp — stdin stdout - file -- opt --help --version
Synopsis
ftp [options
]host
The ftp
(File Transfer
Protocol) program copies files between computers, but not in a
secure manner: your username and password travel over the network as
plain text. Use sftp
instead if
your remote server supports it.
The same commands we listed for sftp
also work for ftp
. (However, the two programs support
other, differing commands, too.)
