ftp from the command line - Here's an example, similar to a wget ftp://192.168.2.132/File.txt, all on one line but broken into several lines here for readability:

Commands are delimited using DOS/Window's &. Optionally, the first command could be a del File.txt.

The echo commands create a temporary file, ftpcmd.txt, with three commands:

1. lcd (a local cd to change the local directory),
2. a get command to perform the file transfer
3. a quit to exit from the ftp prompt

ftp's command line parameters:

1. -A login anonymously
2. -s specifies a command file
3. optional -n and -v suppress printed messages
4. ...and the ftp server's ip address.
