Cmd.exe FTP get cmd, transfers remote file to what local dir?

Discuss Cmd.exe FTP get cmd, transfers remote file to what local dir?



Posted by: Ropponmatsu

When using the cmd.exe's ftp prompt, and getting files from a remote node, what directory are these files placed in? And is there a similar cd command to change the directory to which it is transfered to?

Right off hand...I'm not sure. Have you tried downloading a file and then just searching for it?
Have you thought about getting a free GUI FTP client? They are a little easier to configure...

I agree with Mike, the free programs are quite good, and easy to figure out.

Thanks, and I use a ftp client at home, but from school I use my server alot and I can't connect to my ftp through a client except through cmd.exe but thanks.

I see that it places the files in the local dir you are currently in.
