Can you telnet or connect to a ftp program?

[El_Dookie]

Yes...you can retrieve files by telnetting to the ftp port. Some of the ftp servers will not provide local echo...so you'll have to know what your typing. When you connect...you need to type "USER <username>", and then "PASS <password>". Then type help to view the list of available commands. For example, to change to binary mode, you will type "TYPE I" rather than the usual "BIN". To get a file, you would type "RETR <filename>" rather than "GET."

Yeah sure.

If the remote machine accepts telnet connections from outside the firewall and has a telnet service running, just (I assume you are a Windows user) open up a command prompt and

C:\ telnet machine.example.org

You most likely will need a username and password to get in, unless they did not set it up for username/passwords.

To ftp to a remote machine, once again using the command prompt.

C:\ ftp ftp.hostname.org

//sometimes ftp ww.hostname.org

once again you will probably need a username and password, but if the machine accepts anonynous users use.

username: anonymous
password: you@your-email.org

Hope that helps a little.

hello
Never use ftp://username:password@domain because
your username and password will be transfered in clear text and everybody with a sniffer in the network can see your password.
for telneting just do this
telnet host 21
give your username and your password
for seeing a list of files just type LS
for getting a file get filename
for uploading a file put filename

or use the dos command ftp
open host

i hope this helps you
bye

If you do setup a FTP-server, please remember to disable anonymous access and such. Otherwise, we'll all be giving you advise to retake your FTP-server in a coupl'o days. And by god, then you can hope they did'nt play with tagged dirs, as that can become quite shitty.

Grtz,
