Command line

Attention!

The ftp program in Windows can only work in active connection mode (when the server sends requests to the client), so FTP connection from the command line is available only for devices with public IP address and configured or disabled firewallto accept requests on the ports used for the FTP connection.
  1. Open command prompt: press combination Win+R, in the window that appears, enter cmd and press Enter or "OK".
  2. Run the command:
    ftp
  3. Open a new connection by running the command:
    open example.ftp.tools

    Instead example.ftp.tools specify host from FTP connection data.

  4. When prompted for a username and password, enter FTP username and password.
