This is more of a joke than anything else. I was all pissy then I saw this and I just sat back and laughed. Notice the advice that MS gives and what really works.
C:\WINNT\system32>help ftp
This command is not supported by the help utility. Try "ftp /?".
C:\WINNT\system32>ftp /?
Unknown host /?.
ftp> bye
TheHorse13 ponders, hmmmm, I wonder if a Linuxish command would work....
C:\WINNT\system32>ftp --help
Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.
FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-w:windowsize] [-A] [host]
-v Suppresses display of remote server responses.
-n Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
-i Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
transfers.
-d Enables debugging.
-g Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
-s:filename Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
-a Use any local interface when binding data connection.
-A login as anonymous.
-w:buffersize Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 4096.
host Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
host to connect to.
Notes:
- mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
- Use Control-C to abort commands.
