ftp knows how to do DNS lookups all on its own, so you should be able to
just do "ftp www.someplace.com" and it will try to connect there and
then prompt you for a username and password. A full ftp url would be
formatted like this:
ftp://username:passw...@somedomain.com:port/path
So if you step through your URL you should be able to pick the various
pieces out that you need to do an ftp from the terminal. Note that the
port number is optional so you might not have one. If there is no
username in the URL then it is defaulting to "anonymous"
Hope this helps.

Hello
Please, can somebody give a hand to start an FTP by terminal? I have some
instructions, but it says that I need to wright the FTP’s IP address and the
only thing I have is an FTP link, the address that one uses as a host on an FTP
client.
Thank you very much for your help!

Hi guys, got a question. I haven't had any great luck with any of the free Ftp
clients as of yet, filezilla doesn't seem tow irk or maybe I'm missing
something on the setup, not sure, cyberduck might work but I can't seem to get
the download to work, but I am able to get into ftp using terminal. Once I've
established a connection, got to a main directory say for instance books, and
then the directory is divided into letters of the alphabet showing the author's
first name, how do I first navigate to that directory list, and then how do I
get a book from that author's particular listing. I am sort of new, but I like
the terminal approach but just trying to learn. Thanks for any help. take care
and talk to you soon.
