    What version of Windows are you using? - the FTP client is different in each one.

    I suspect, though, that the problem is that you have to use "USER" command to log in. For example, if you don't have an account on the ftp server you are logging into - you would do a "USER anonymous" to log in anonymously.

    AFAIK, with Win98, the dos FTP command goes like this:

    C:\WINDOWS>ftp
    ftp> open server.com
    Connected to planettribes.com.
    220 Server Host program.
    User (server.com:(none)): Enter Username
    331 Password required for Username
    Password: Enter password here. Will not show.
    230 User Username logged in.
    ftp>

    And after that you use basic commands like cd, del, send, get, copy...

    So you should be prompted for a username/pass combo. At any time while running MS-dos FTP, just type in "?" to see a list of commands, or "? Command" to get help on what Command does.

    PLEASE don't tell me you tried the IP address of a computer you knew was running an FTP server... And not just any old computer. Otherwise I think you are mixing FTP up with Windows Shares.
